One Easter me and Grandma V, were down stairs at Aunt Bonnie's playing ping pong. When i hit one wildly and she dove to get it. When we were calling 9/11 she looked at me and said, "don't feel bad, I was having fun and I was able to play a game with you and spend time with you." I will never forget that day. Grandma V, it tears my heart apart to know that your gone. But you will be greatly missed by everyone that had the privilege to have their lives touched by you. I love you. I'll see you again.
