Grandma,

I have someone very special to introduce you to! You have a new granddaughter in-law! This is my wife Lauren and our family on our wedding day. I wish she had the chance to meet you and grandpa. You mean so much to me! As I continue to grow and become a man with a family of his own, I am constantly reminded of all the wonderful lessons I learned from you - how to cherish someone, how to show unconditional love, and how to make someone smile. I wanted to say thank you for everything that you did for me. I miss you very much.

Love you so much!

Your grandson and granddaughter in-law,

Brandon and Lauren
