My heart is heavy, but my soul is strong, for I know my grandma is at Peace and no longer having to Suffer.
She was one of the strongest people I knew. I admired her strength so much! I’m going to miss them long phone calls. We would talk for hours and talk about anything and everything. It breaks my heart knowing she won’t meet my baby girl, But I know she will be with us in spirit and be our Guardian Angel. She will be missed so deeply!
Heaven is so lucky to have her.
“God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to me." A golden heart stopped beating hard
working hands at rest. God broke our hearts
to prove to us
He only takes the best.

I'm still lost for words Tia you have left your mark here on Earth all your family that loved & adored you will never forget you because you were truly one of a kind! How do I mend a broken heart? Your sister, your best friend, my grandma is so heartbroken over you Tia and what hurts me the most is that she wants to be with you and the rest of our family up above. Please watch over her as her guardian angel. And speak to her and let her know that you're not suffering in any pain anymore.
