Grandmom, I have always said that you are/were the strongest women I have ever known, this stands true to this day. I will always remember your kind soul, humor, and strength that made you the incredible woman that you were. I am happy I got to spend alot of time with you especially the last few years. I will miss our talks in your bedroom on Sunday nights before I had to make the drive up to Boston for the week for work. Also visiting with Jen and Christian talking in the kitchen and eating nut roll, cookies and tea.
I learned alot from you and I hope I can exceed just half of what you did in your life time.
I will miss you very much and there will always be a part of my heart missing now that you have gone on the next phase of your journey. Tell Grandpop and my Dad I miss them too and love them. I wish I could just sit down one last time with you. But I know that you know how I felt as well as Christian and Jen. We love you and always will. I am happy that you are now free from all the frustration and pain you had the last few months. I know you have reunited with all your past loved ones and that makes me smile. I will miss you and look forward to seeing you again in the next stage of life.
You always gave 100% to everyone and everything, and never expected anything in return . That is what saints are made of in my eyes Grandmom and that's how I will always remember you.
I love you, so instead of saying goodbye I will just say I will see you later.
