When we had sleepovers when I was little she would always make sure to leave gifts under our pillow from the "sleepover fairy". It was a core memory for me growing up along with all of the arts and crafts and games she had planned for us. I always looked forward to visiting her because she was always fun and welcoming to be around. As I get older I see more of her in myself and in her writings, they have impacted me more than she knows. I miss her alot

You were a great mom and wonderful grandma to all. I take comfort in knowing my kids have fond memories of you. You never missed a birthday. Sami still says you made the best grilled cheese sandwiches. I guess that's because they were made with love. Alex will never forget how you taught her how to win prizes at the carnival lol.
You are already greatly missed.
Hope you are at peace in Heaven with Gramps and Jitterbug.
