I’m sitting here trying to think, still trying to take it all in, the profound sense of loss we all feel now that you have gone ahead of us. You had 22 grandchildren and one great-grandchild and counting. But I feel like I am the luckiest grandchild however, because I had you with me the longest.

You fought so hard to stay. Your last words were about Mom. I know how much you loved her, and Mom loved you completely. It just hurts too much to say more.

Your daughter,
Sandy
