Hey grandma, been thinking about you a lot lately. All the time I spent down at your house with you and grandpa Mike tackling our projects and you always having something special for lunch prepared for us.
I know you´re one of my angels now, up in heaven and I talk to you often. Tell grandpa Mike I said hello and I miss him too, he always made me feel like I belonged!
Love always
