Grandma,

Ever since the day of my birth you have been there for me. I appreciate every single thing you have done for me. You used to take my sister and I to school every day, and during the summer before we were old enough to stay at home alone, you would let us come over until my mom got home from work. I guess you could say that you helped raise me. I'll be the first to tell you that you did a terrific job in that. I know you'll always be watching over me, and I will always keep you in my heart until the day we meet again. I'm really glad you had the chance to see my daughter, your youngest grandchild, Viviana, and I'll make sure that she grows up knowing who you were.

I still can't believe you're gone.

We all miss you Grandma, and we'll never forget the impact you had on our lives.

It was my pleasure to meet and care for Dee during her recent visit to Penrose hospital where I work as a CNA. While at the hospital she constantly had numerous visitors of family and friends. She was never alone night or day since at least one family member was always at her side. The devotion shown to her by her family is only a small example of the love her family has for her. I was honored to have met her. God speed.
