I will always remember that you brought out the talkative side in my kids, even at an early age. I will strive to become as proficient as you were at getting B-day and Anniversary cards there on the actual date. Your graciousness will be something that I will never forget. We will remember you always!

Dear Sweet Grandma Joan,

I miss you already. I can't believe I will never get to hear your stories again or see any more of you fabulous perfectly accessorized outfits or hear your voice. I love you Grandma.

Love,
Nicole Denise
