I love and miss you grandma, i will always remember how you told me stories and made you famous chocolate milk for me. As i got older i learned more about those stories and you had such great wisdom. I enjoyed spending time with you even though it was a short time this past year i would do it all over again. You are with God and family now may you get the rest you need and look down upon us. I love you and will always remember you as my best girl.
