Dear Grandma,

It's hard to believe we lost you a year ago today. I love and miss you SO much! Not a day passes without thinking of you, and your face shines from the photos I have all around me. May peace and love surround you everlastingly! *hugs & kisses*

Love Always,

It is so sad to lose someone you love, and I know from talking to to you, Heather and Laura, and to you Linda, that you loved your grandma and mother very much and will miss her a lot, and I'm sure other family members will miss her, too. I hope the fond memories of her will help you cope with her loss, and that those memories will be shared among those who loved her, for years to come, especially with her great grandchildren who didn't get a chance to know her all that well.
