"Too many memories are flooding my head. Thank you for all the road trips, and for taking me to church on Sundays. Thank you for all the movie nights, family reunions, lessons with electric fences and all the other grandma stuff. We will miss visiting you. The kids loved running around the assisted living and Jazzy loved playing the piano for you. We love you and will meet you again one day. Until then, we hope you get some laughs watching us do life! Goodnight grandma, we love you and say hi to grandpa!"
