Grandma,
Its me Kelli. Today marks 2 months since your passing. Hard to believe. I'm sure you know we all miss you more than anything.... That's no surprise.
I have recently picked up my cap, gown, sash, and tickets for graduation. I am officially done with College...crazy I know. I graduate Saturday. Please make sure to have a front row seat that day next to my mom. I don't want you to miss it! Just to hear those words again "Honey I'm so proud of you, my sweet little grand-daughter"! One day.
I love you forever and miss you always!! -You're my special angel-
Love always,
Kelli <3

Dear Barbara, Tracy and David,
I was sorry to learn of your mother's passing. I remember so well going to your home in Willingboro on the Fourth of July and your family visiting us on Greenway Avenue. Of course, your Princess was the mother of our Pita - perhaps the most favorite of the dogs I had. It is hard to lose a parent but be comforted to know that we shall all be together once again - and then it will be for eternity.
With loving sympathy, cousin Jimmy
