Hi Grandma,

I just wanted to call and say hi but your number isn't in my phone anymore. Let's just say I think that you are on an extended stay in FL. I know that I will be in touch with you someday. Can't wait! Kiss Patti Jo and Grandpa for me and hope my dogs aren't bugging you too bad. Love you.

Grandma,

I have never had a strong faith as you did but I had faith in you. And I still do. I feel blessed to have known you. I feel blessed that you are watching over me now. I love you and I will miss our 8:30 phone calls.
