Dear Grandma Jan

For a time I knew you as Mrs. Oshel. I was quickly advised that I was to call you Grandma as Mrs. Oshel would not do. I want you to know that you were very much a Grandma to me. You always had a way of making me feel very special and loved. Your sage advice, beautiful heart, and endearing ways will live on in my heart forever. I'm so very blessed to have had the pleasure of knowing and loving you. I will always and forever cherish the times I've had with you and eternally remember what a kind and wonderful person I was lucky enough to call Grandma. I thank you for your wonderful, loving, and precious family. I love you from the bottom of my heart and am forever grateful for you. May God and peace be with you always and forever.

Love,

Leeann
