Gram,
It’s been a very long 3 years! I miss you soo much. The loss of Colee is unbearable at times. I know you are holding her tight! You were such a huge part of my life. We talked every single day for many years! If the Tigers are on or I hear a score, your the first thing that pops in my mind! I saved the amazing letters you wrote to me, expressing our bond was like no other and same for Marty! We truly had a very special Gram!!
Until we meet again, hold your great grand daughter tight❤
Love you & miss you soo much!

Gram,
I don't know why I got this email today, but it tells me you have my baby girl in your arms. Hold her tight! Until we are together again, I know you have her, but my heart so broken!
I love you Gram and miss you terribly. Hold your great grand daughter Colee! 5/22 the hardest day of my life and I don't know how the tears will ever stop.
Love you Colee & Gram♥
Love
Always,
Amy

Gram....
This is very hard to accept! But I know in my heart you are watching over us! Words can't express the loss we feel. I am forever grateful to have you in my life and words can't express how much I miss you already! We were very close Gram & I don't think all grandparents have what we did! Love you to pieces! I'll root on your tigers - someone else will have to root on the wings for you.
Love Always,
Amy

Donna was just a very special person. Always had time to say hi and asked how you were doing. She was a great listener and always had a kind word. The world will be a little less friendly with out her. I will miss her
