Dear Mema,
You were the best grandma anyone could have asked for. I am honored to have so many fond memories of our time together which I will keep close to my heart forever.
You will definitely be missed, but there is some comfort in knowing that you and Poppy have finally reunited.
With love and sadness,
Your grandson,
Geebird
