I can´t believe it´s almost 10 years since you left us here on earth. I still think about you and wonder how life would be with you still here! I know we would be having lots of family gatherings with lots of love. Missing you and poppa Joe. Give him a big kiss from me in heaven. Keep watching over me. I was telling Brooks all about you the other day! Love you grandma!!

My sweet grandma. This still seems so unreal but I keep reminding myself that you are shining up there in heaven right now. You finally got to give your hubby that big kiss you have been yearning for for years and you get to see uncle Robby. You were loved by so many -- in heaven and here on earth. You left impacts on several peoples lives. You left a huge impact on mine personally. Our bond was like no other and I will hold that dear to my heart for eternity. You must be the "cutest" one up there!! Love you forever and ever.
