Grandma spent her entire life taking care of others. When Grandpa was sick, Grandma was right there to take care of him. When my Sister and I were babies, Grandma converted her living room into a nursery. She was a baby-sitter for all of her grandchildren.



Grandma demonstrated how to give unselfishly. She did not have a lot of money, but was rich with love.



I have learned so much from you Grandma. I will miss you.
