My sweetest Grandma,
I looked up to you so much and loved you beyond words. There will never be a day that goes by that I won't think of you. You were the glue that held us together. I hated to see you sick and know you are at peace now with the Lord. I will see you again one day. Love you with all my heart,
Your grand daugther Monica Fleeger
