I miss you Grandma each and every day. I love you forever and know that you are looking down at me from above. Guide me in my everyday life and know that I will always miss you.

I made you a rug angel today Grams...it may not be imprinted in my rug like it did with the shag carpet in the no-no room, but it's imprinted in my heart and will remain forever.
