Your Grandaughter, Angela

November 5, 2007

Grandmom was so special to all of us in so many different ways. She gave each one of us a piece of her heart to call our own. I will treasure my memories of her and try to live each day with the dignity and respect she displayed in her life. I have been sorting out my emotions the past couple of days and I have come to find that I am more proud than anything. Proud to have been able to share my life with her. Proud because she was a phenomenal Mother and Grandmother. Proud because she was a beautiful woman. Proud because she was a kind, loving and honorable person. Proud because she left her imprint on each and every one of us. Proud because she worked each day of her life for her family and what a masterpiece she created.

Gran I love you and will miss you. I know I was privileged to have you as a Grandmother and for that I am so very grateful. I know that when you left us to go home many arms were open to embrace you waiting their turn to feel what we have felt for so long. Until it is my turn, I will always remember you.
