Im going to miss her very much. She was like my Grandmother so dear to my heart! She always asked how my kids were doing and how I was. She was always so kind but sometimes would get angry and stubborn with me when she wanted to have things her way. We had a lot of spiritual talks. I will miss that more...Love You and I know that you are rejoicing in Heaven!!
