Dear Michelle, When I heard about your Grandma passing I first thought of you. I know how close that you were to her and how much Love that the 2 of you shared. Know that she will always be in your heart and that she would not want to see you sad .
God Bless you now and always.
Love,
Gina

You never said "Im leaving"
You never said goodbye
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why


A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried
If love could have saved you,
You never would have died

In life I loved you dearly
In death I love you still
In my heart you hold a place ,
That no one could ever fill

It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home

Grandma, My heart will continue to ache until I see you again. Thank you for being such a wonderful loving Grandmother to me! You were
such a blessing to me and to all who loved you. You are going to be missed so very much! All of my love forever your grandaughter Michelle
