I cannot put into words how much I will miss you Emmy. You are my heart. I will carry you with me for the rest of my life. I am thinking so much of all of the lessons you taught me. I could not have asked for a better grandmother. I don't know if I am ready to say goodbye to you, but you taught me to be strong. I will think of you everyday. You are so much a part of me. I love you Emmy. I promise to be the man you raised to be. Rest in peace my sweet grandmother.
