Grandma,
I wish I could have come out to see you 1 more time. I am glad we were able to have a wonderful visit and spend some quality time with you on our last visit. My sisters and I have some great memories of you, your home, your garden and of course, your pickels. I will miss you very much. I am jealous of the family reunion you are having right now. Tell my daddy I miss him very much and look forward to seeing him, you, grandpa and Barbara again some day. With all my love,
Lee Ann
