My sincerest condolences to the family. I pray she is at the good Lords side, and will live for eternity in his presence……Goodbye friend….
I always remember our sleepovers, the pajamas your wore and ones you let me wear, and how we would stay up and watch scary movies together. Or when you’d get mad when I took your socks home because you knew you would never see them again and in that case I’m sorry. Or how we would paint bird houses together, and with every art piece I made you were more amazed. Most importantly how when I made mistakes and I thought my mom was upset with me you’d reassure me that my mom loves me to the worlds end and that you did too. Grandma you mean more to me than you’ll ever know. Rest easy I love you forever and always. Ps. I will never let the younger grandchildren forget about you or how much you admired and loved them
