Poppy. You were the best poppy and human in this entire world. I always looked up to you and everything you were all about. You were always there and your love is forever missed. We constantly think and pray for you and know you are watching down on all of us. We miss you so much and I´m the luckiest to have known you and to be called your granddaughter. God Bless you and may your light continuously shine on all of us. Till we meet again.
