Gram,

I know that you are not my grandmother, I have always respect-ed you as though you were. I will always remember coming to visit you at your apt. and helping you and Am-ber with your food shopping. You always took the time to let me know you cared what was going on in my life and to ask how I was doing. I know you are now in a great place and you have nothing else to worry about. You had a long life, here, full of love. You will always be remembered and missed. You are one of a kind.



I'll miss you,

"That Dave"
