My grandmother was one of the strongest women I ever knew. She supported her family and she was there for them through thick and thin. I know that she is in good hands up there. She's with my father and my grandfather and the Lord. She is surrounded by light and love and I'm very sorry I couldn't see her before this happened. I tried my hardest. I was on my way. But everything happens for a reason, I guess. I would like to leave love here for the rest of my family and to let them know that I am here with you in spirit, though I am not near you physically, and I am part of this mourning. I love and miss all of you so greatly. <3
