Dear Grandma Nelson,
Mommy told me you went to heaven, and I was very sad because I didn’t get to say goodbye. I keep your card and letter on my bookcase, and Mommy reads it to me all the time. She says that I must be very special, because now I have two guardian angels to watch over me. Please give Daddy a hug from me. I love you Grandma.
Love, Hina
Dear Bill and family,
We are so deeply sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,

In Our Hearts
We thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we’ll never part.
God has you in his keeping.
We have you in our heart.
