Grammy! I'm so glad to know that you are in a safe, warm place with your Mommy and Daddy and all your brothers and sisters. I know you look forward to seeing all of us again, but I also understand that you wish that to be a long while.

I enjoyed our last real day together as I was once again gladly appointed "Grandma sitter". We watched cheezy English movies, played cards, and ate tons of food. You were the absolute highlight to my Orlando vacation.

I love you as much now as I ever have and I will see you and Gramps again one day.

With all my deepest love.

Your Granddaughter,
Susan

I know that Mother was looking over us this past weekend as Mary Ann, Joe and I remarked together about the wonderful life we have because of our parents. We remembered the good times, the love and support that was in abundance. We miss them very much.
