Grandma,
You will be missed by all. You were one of a kind, not many get to live such a long and wonderful life. I only hope we can all be 1/2 as happy as you always were. Some of my fondest memories I will cherish forever are the good times I had playing with Marky at your house.
I will love you forever and always,
Christie

Thinking of you, I have many fond memories of your mom. She was such a lovely lady, with a pretty smile, always happy to stop for a chat.
