Grandma,

Its only been jsut a week and I miss her terribly... U didnt just know my grandma, YOU KNEW HER.... I love u mom and Aunt Boots, and we have each other now, this is what grandma built before she left.... So lets keep the family strong and full of laughter...
Grandma and Grampa u guys r gone from earth, but u will NEVER be FORGOTTEN

HERE IS A POEM DONE FOR GRANDMA:
Love was sent from heaven
Upon the wings of an Angel.
Planted like seeds in a garden
In hearts of special people.
Grandma gathered us together,
And taught us to care.
To prove love lives forever,
Enough for all to share.
Grandma knew what was best,
And worked hard everyday.
She barely even stopped to rest
Trying to avoid delay.
Grandma's spirit was so strong
She wanted to pass it on.
Grandma gave us a place to belong,
And even though those days are gone,
We're blessed with the spirit
She gave us with her love.
And now we must not forget
She guards us from above
