Gram was the most strong minded, loving person and I miss her with all my heart. She was always the first one to tell you how wonderful you were and even though I made mistakes, she would always have the right thing to say to make every problem go away. My world is so much lonlier now that she's gone. I'm sorry to everyone else too, I know how much our family loved her.
