I just wanted to say how sorry I am to see that Grandma has passed away. But she will always be in my heart and prayers. I really enjoyed the time that I shared with her. Every event I would take the time to sit close to her and to talk to her about alot of different things. It made me so happy that I was able to share those moments with her. We laughed and I always felt so good when she would laugh, because it was the best feeling you could ever imagine. Grandma always was happy when I was with her and I will always cherise the time that we shared.
