Grandma, the special times I spent with you during summer breaks I will forever treasure. I can remember as far back as when you lived in a small apartment in Lincoln, Ca. We would bake cookies together and watch QVC, all while you would explain to me how QVC works and the great deals they had on jewelry and things. Then, when you lived on the farm in Lincoln, Ca, I helped take care of the horses on the property, eventually taking horseback riding lessons. We still would watch QVC together and bake. I was so thankful to you for letting me stay with you and to learn how to take care of the horses. That is one of my most cherished core memories which you instilled in me. When I got older and got married, had children of my own and started a life whenever we visited together, I still got brought back to the feelings of the special moments we've shared over the years. I felt like your little granddaughter again. Your smile and laughs were contagious. Your heart so warm and loving. I will be forever grateful for the smiles, laughs, hugs and memories we've shared together. You are now with the rest of angels in heaven and a guardian angel to me. I love you so very much and will always be your Tippy. May you rest in eternal peace Grandma.
