I wasn´t ready for you to leave me behind. I´m in my 30s and even now, it still hurts so much. I replay your voicemails in my head so I never forget your voice. "Hi, this is your Grandma. Call me." I remember your phone number. It´s all I can cling to because I miss you. It´s not fair.

I love you so much. There is not a day that goes that by that I don´t wish you were alive. You´d love your great great grandkids so much. And I have my own car, unlike when I was telling you about getting my permit when I was 14. So I can actually drive you places now. I can visit you more. My PB&J sandwiches still aren´t as good as yours. Neither are my ramen noodles with sausage in it or tomato soup with chopped up bologna in it. My kid would love you. She has chunky cheeks that reminds me of yours. This probably seems random, but I was just thinking about you and I miss you. I love you, grandma Brown.

Dennis, Floyd, Tena, Dwight; May Jehovah comfort all of your family during this sorrowful time. When we learned the truth, your mom became our second mother. I loved her and thank Jehovah for his guarantee of a resurrection. Love and sympathy, Sheila
