I'm thinking about you today. I have a suncatcher in my kitchen window in your memory and every time it throws rainbows, we say "Grandma Angel is here"; I like to think that walking through them is like getting a hug from you. I hope you're happy and warm in the clouds with Grandpa Bud, Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Don. We all miss and love you <3
