Great Grammie,
I will miss you with all of my heart. I will always remember the summer we came to visit. You taught me to play Rumikub, and took the time to make me Macaaroni and Cheese with a hotdog for dinner. I know you'll be happy in heaven and will watch over all of us throughout our lives.
Love and hugs always,
Your great-grandaughter Erin

I am very grateful that Grammie was always such a large part of my life; from all the holidays we spent together; to just chatting over tea or on the phone. She was always so warm and loving. I am also very grateful for the special friendship she had with my husband, Mike. In college, I would often call her to arrange a visit and her first question, said with excitement, was always, "Are you bringing Mike?" I think she was more excited to see him than me at times. :-) We were blessed to have her her on earth so long; she was able to develop a very special bond with my Leah and loved seeing Andrew "Bug", I know she is at peace but I will always miss and love her very much!

My Dearest Grammie,
I love you with all my heart. You have always been a dear friend to me. I will miss you terribly.
Thank you for all your love and laughter. Picnics on North Scituate Beach and riding Smokey will always be some of my fondest memories.
I am sorry I cannot be there Saturday.
I love you always.

I will miss my grandmother very much. She was an important part of my life and I was lucky to have known her for so many years. She was my grandmother, my confidant and my best friend.
