Grandma,
Memories of you and what you meant to us will always be present in my life!. You were always there when we needed you. Whether you were making us laugh or laying us out, you never knew the meaning of 'holding your tongue'. It was ALWAYS a joy to be around you, not to mention the hardy feasts that we could always count on!
Sure do miss you!!
