Through the years we grew apart but never forgot Vivian.

We were deeply saddened to read of her passing.

Grandma I am going to miss your smile and the stories that we shared together. Your memories will live forever in my heart. I'm really going to miss you, but I'm finding comfort in knowing that you and I will be reunited some day in heaven. You are in a much better place, and now you can rest easy. I love you with all of my heart. Please be our guardian angel. Grandma, I would like to end this with a "BIG THANK YOU". Some may not know what I am thanking you for but you do. Your adopted, granddaughter.
