Hi Grandma,
I’m sure you are all smiles right now as you have now been reunited with your parents and Tommy and Cathy. Oh, I bet those hugs from them felt so good.! You have been such a wonderful grandma, I would not have the wonderful son I have today, if I hadn’t had all the love and help from you as Nathan was growing up. No need to worry about us grandma, we will all do fine and always hear your voice. We will make you proud! Love You, See You Later! XXOO
