Thinking of you today as I saw this picture from last year. You are so missed, but I am comforted by warm and happy memories of our times together. Today, I am feeling grateful to be your granddaughter and always imagine you dancing.

Grandma Polly,
Thank you for loving me as a grandson when Shelly decided to marry me:) I have wonderful memories of time spent with you and Grandpa. You were a warm and loving person that had a good sense of humor. In addition, I will cherish memories of eating your wonderful cooking and playing cards with you. I smile thinking about you and grandpa being reunited in heaven. Give the King of the wild frontier a hug from me, and he the same to you. Thanks for being a wonderful great-grandmother to Hunter, Hannah & Hallie. Love, Nathan

To my Gramasita, I'm so blessed to have so many wonderful and fond memories with you. It's hard to bring up just one memory with you, but there's one in particular that keeps coming to mind. After eating her delicious tortillas with honey that I would beg her to make, I would ask her to play one of our favorite card games. Shanghi! Grams had a fantastic tactic that she seemed to use and always win with. I don't need to say much more because you know and as well as the family knows that SHI-SHI-FIVE was a great score even with all them aces!
Grams, we all are so lucky to have you as our guardian angel. I'll miss you so much. I love you!

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."
Grams, you will be missed greatly. Always watch over us and keep us protected. We love you our shining star!
