Grandma Grace Greenleaf
My Grandmother was not just a great grandmother, grandmother, or mother. She was a friend some one who you could count on no matter what has gone wrong. Grandma Greenleaf was also someone who knew how to forgive. I know everyone has done things in there life that they were not exactly proud of but my grandma did not look at that. She looked for the good in her family and friends. Grandma will be missed and has left a huge impact in many if not all of our lives. I know that she will be missed here on earth but she will always be with us. She has taught all of us alot in life. Many little stepping stones that along they way you just do not realize until you sit back and take a minute to reflect on your life and that is when you see the little stepping stones or words of wisdom come out and we will still carry that altough she is now gone. She will never actually be gone because she will always be in each and everyone of our hearts and memories. From now on everytime I smell a batch of chocolate chip cookies or mix cooking I will think of grandma. Although I lived 1300 miles away I knew when she was making them I could almost taste it and then it would arrive in a goodie package and I would really get to taste it. Grandma I will miss you and altough you have gone to be with Grandpa you will never leave my thoughts or my heart. I LOVE YOU!
I know that this is a hard time for all of us my prayers are with our family.
