we love and miss you very much, you were always kind and loving
Grandma, I miss you so so much, so do the kids. They ask about you constantly. We tell them you’re happy and you don’t hurt anymore. They don’t fully understand but they’re happy knowing you’re okay. I think that’s what keeps us all going; knowing you’re okay. I want you here so bad, but I know you were in pain and hurting. I’m so glad you are finally at peace and I know you’re happy to be with your parents again. I just hope you know we all love you and think about you all the time. There’s never a minute you don’t cross our minds. You are and always have been a beautiful woman; on the inside and out. You’ve impacted a lot of peoples lives, Grandma. Your laugh, your smile, and your love will always be remembered. I love you, until we meet again. Sleep easy, Angel.
Grandma, I don’t know if you saw, but I was a mess tonight. I could not stop crying. I did not think I was going to be so bad because I knew what everything meant. I am so sorry if you felt like I was never around or didn’t care. God, I never meant for you to think that. I hope you’re reading this and know how truly sorry I am for everything. I love you soo much. I want you to know that I think about you all the time, and how important you are to me. I love you.
