My grandmother meant the world to me. Aside from helping raise me she gave me many of her sensibilities. She showed me how to be a good person and to have respect for all people. She showed me how a long lasting relationship was supposed to work with my other hero, my grandfather.  
She would teach me new things over summer break from school so I was always prepared for what was to come.
She gave me her strength to face difficult times. I know she would want us all to have good healthy lives and to only remember her as the strong capable woman she was. I sometimes forget that she was a woman. She was my grandma and I will carry her with me for the rest of my life and try to instill all the things she taught me to my future children. 
I love her and miss her so much. We are all lucky to have her watching over us. 
Love you grandma...

Dear Bill and Karen
Have tried to reach you but didn't have your cell phone number. I am so sorry to hear about Polly. I had no idea she was in such bad shape. Bill, you know you have been in my thoughts since I heard. I keep remembering how she would bring us pretzels and coke when we were playing games at your house. I hope to see you at the funeral home tonight (I am working today (Wed) and tomorrow (Thurs). Trying to get off for tomorrow. If I am unable to attend either tonight or tomorrow, I will definitely see you this weekend.
Love to you,
Lynn
