A angle, a soul that made the room bright just having her smiling. My beautiful grandmother, my sunshine has suddenly been taken from us and in heaven. I would give anything to have her alive 10 minutes just to hold her and sing her our song and let her know how much i love her! my heart is empty without her but will be filled again when i can be with her someday again. I LOVE YOU GRANDMA!!!!!! i miss you every day.
