I know I don't remember you very well, but I know your looking down from heaven and laughing while my dad stubs his toe. I know you'd do that. I love you so much and I hope you know that. I remember you a little, and those are very fond memories and I keep them close to my heart. Maybe I'll see you soon. Love, Your grand daughter Ellie

She was a former teacher of mine, when I was in the sixth grade. I used to think she was mean before she became my teacher, but she ended up being a sweetheart. May she rest peacefully.
