Grandma-
You were loved by so many, and will be missed by so many as well. I would not be who I am, or where I am today without all your love and support over the years. For that, I will be forever grateful.
I only hope one day I have the chance to be as wonderful of a grandparent to my grandkids as you were to me.

Love, Matt
