Tony,
I truly understand the emptiness of losing your grandmother. That relationship is so very special. Her life contained a wealth of history. I am glad that I had the opportunity to acquaint myself with your mother, Jeff and your grandparents. I am glad that God allowed your grandmother to see your baby daughter and that she was clinging to life on Thanksgiving Day. I pray that God will give you the balance you need as you celebrate a new life and say good-bye to one of the most important forces in your life.
It was a good decision to allow your daughter to carry her greatgrandmother's name.
Love never dies.
