I love you Grandma. More than I could ever express. I miss you everyday. Your kindness and generosity guided me and helped me become the man I am today. I give anything just to hug you and sit together in the kitchen and talk like we used too. Life will never be the same without you. I love you and you will live in my heart forever.
