Grandmom,
Thank you for being a pleasurable part of our lives for so long. It was an honor to have loved you and shared you with my family and friends. The way you lit up when you you were around little children warmed everyone's hearts. It is comfort to know that you are now in heaven, no doubt with chocolate and a cigerette. You have left me and the girls with many stories to share. I will tuck your babies in. We love you.
Until we hold hands again- Barbie
