My beautiful loving Grandma. Words still can't express the way I feel since you left us. I'll never forget the random weeks that I would go & spend with you. I'm going to miss your smile, laughter but most of all your hugs & late night chats. You were the most loving & caring Grandma anyone could ask for, you never turned anyone down in a time of need. I was lucky enough to still have you in my life to be part of Elijah's life, all though he may be to young I'll make sure to tell him all about his wonderful great Grandma! I love & miss you so much. Your always in my thoughts & in my heart!
