You were the only grandmother I had, I never got to know you enough, but when we spent time together, I cherished every moment, every story, and most of all, your laugh. I think of you often, I miss the cards you sent diligently with each $1 stapled to it. Haha... The beautiful pictures of us, and even the silly picture with you and your great grandson are always present.
I know you are much happier now with grandpa. I love you
