Dear Brian:

My heart-felt condolences.

You are lucky to have a friend

as dear as Cousin Robert, who

spent such loving time with

your Grandmother.

I'm so sorry she has passed,

especially given the true fight

she showed getting through such a tough operation.

Most Sincerely,

Suzanne

Dear Grandma,

I am sorry that I did not get to be with you the last days of your life. Before I left, I would never of thought you would not be here when I returned, maybe you did not want me to see you suffer, I understand.



I will miss sharing with you all my travelling stories, sending you postcards that you colleted and comparing places we both have seen.



Now you are in a new place, somewhere beautiful,peaceful and happy and re-united with grandpa, my dad and baby Joey and all the angels that you loved.



Gram, you are my angel and I love you and will miss you very much, until we meet again in heaven.



Your grandson,

Brian

xoxo
