Hi, Grandma. Miss Mary Baby (singing, well I'm trying) I miss you so much. Everyday I think about you. I remember all the good times, from you and I laughing how Ellie found all your "good quality" items, you encouraging me to work hard for success, and cooking up the best Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. You are not only, my grandmother but my mentor, my best friend and my guardian angel. When they say it's nothing like grandma's cooking, they wasn't lying. Everyday I walk pass your room, I feel your spirit and wisdom and you are helping me with the hardest time of my life. I want to thank you for everything, you have been a great contributor to the way I live my life. See you later. I will save our "fist bow" when I see you again. I know I know I never stop talking as you would say but I will always love you. Your grand daughter, Renee
