I'll always remember how Grandma encouraged me during the most challenging time in my life. I am forever grateful for the advice she passed on to me. She is missed.

I am going to miss our talks about life and our favorite show "The Young and the Restless". I enjoyed hearing her laugh. She would get so tickled about certain things.
