Granny,

I love you and I am going to miss you so very much. I will cherish the times that we spent talking and laughing about life. I will especially miss sharing a piece of your chocolate pie with you on Christmas morning before the rest of the family was awake! Thank you for always listening, mentoring and making me feel like the most special person in the world.
Hugs and kisses,
Shelley
