Gramie,
It is so hard for me to believe your gone but i know your in a better place. I just want you to know that not only were a wonderful Grandmother but an even better friend. I did so much with you over the years from coffee to dollar stores. I loved just spending time with you. I was never bored it was always a pleasure. you were there for me growing up then i had to be there for you when you needed me even if you didnt. Gramie you were so special to me and for many years we were inseperable but now God felt that it was time for you to spend time with Him and I understand that. Please keep being with me for coffee. I love you so much and you know how much I will miss you. I told you I would save you if anybody ever took you from me but I think you were saved by someone better than me.
Much love and fantastic memories

Your Granddaughter and Best Friend
