Grandma,

You didn’t deserve to suffer the way you did. It made me sad to see you go. I love you so much words cannot describe it. You were always there for us when we needed. You were like my best friend. I will miss you a lot but I know you are in a better place. I will never stop loving you and I know you will always love me. I know you are looking down on me and you will always be at my side. I miss you but you are so much better off. I have so much to tell you but I can’t write them down. I just wanted to write down how happy I am for you to be in heaven and how much I love you.

Loretta is the most wonderful mother, mother-in-law, Grandma, Great Grandma and best friend anyone would ever wish for in life. She will remain in my heart and next to me always! She could remember every detail, everybodys date of birth, marriage and death. All the kids will remember the undershirts and long underwear she always bought for them. And never, never leave the house with wet hair!! We love you Loretta, but now you are with Jim.

God bless you for all the memories.
