Grandma, I can't describe how much I will miss you. I am glad we were able to be with you so much in your final years and make sure you were happy and comfortable. Even though I think you liked my husband more than me! :) You will always be in our hearts!

I will miss all the times we went to Bingo. I really miss those good times. The times you and dad would come and wake John and I up at 3:00 in the morning to go for a ride, we would end up across the straight. I miss you so much. I you.
