Grandma Sue,
I miss you so much, and I wish you were here so I can talk to you. I really needed you. Christmas was different. You made me realize what Christmas means. You are & will always be close to me. The day you passed my heart broke, and fell into my chest. I will miss visiting you, and drinking coffee with you, and eating chocolate. I love you Grandma Sue!
I moved from middleton almost a year after you have been gone. I moved there to be close to you Grandma Sue!
