Grandma,

I will always remember the good times we had when we were kids. I looked forward to summer vacations with you and grandpa, the trips we took, and when you would come up for x-mas. These are times I will never forget. You will be missed very much. I am happy though that now you are with grandpa and finally at peace. I love you very much, your granson Tom
