Deanna, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your grandmother. You've had a really rough time lately, but just think, you now have 2 wonderful Guardian Angels looking out for you and they are the best!! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep your chin up because you're never given more than you can handle, though it may seem that way at times.

When I worked at the bank I always loved when she would come in. She was one of my favorite weekly clients. She was the sweetest person. Know that Heaven is a happier place for having her there. She was a beautiful soul here and I know that she is more beautiful today. Know that she was a special person. Also, know that today I have a hurt in my heart that you all will miss her as will I. It is of little comfort to you I know but know that she was a special person to people that met her if only for a brief few minutes.
