Grandma Vassie,
Although you weren't my blood grandma, you meant the world to me. I am saddened by the loss of you in my life. I will cherish the memories I have of you always. Thank you for your unconditional love, to not only me but my entire family. You will be missed. I know that God has welcomed you into his kingdom with open arm and that you are in no more pain. I love you.
