I will never forget your beautiful soul grandma. I can never thank you enough for everything you´ve done for me. I will always remember your sweet voice and all the memories we made together. i always loved helping you in the studio making flowers. I remember how excited i was to come see you and grandpa all those weekends when we were out of school. Your feisty attitude was the best though. I will never forget that. Losing you will really change my life, but i know you´re happy up there with all those beautiful flowers and Papa. I will forever love you grandma.
