My Grandmother was a beautiful person, inside and out. She loved to meet people and show her kindness to anyone and everyone. I'm glad I got to spend these past few months with her as much as I could. Even at 80, it was too soon for her to go. She was a fighter and loved life. I'm glad she's in a happier place. I'll miss her deeply. I love you, Grandma!
