Mommy,

I miss you so much. I had Paige Margaret on March 14, 2008 at 9:11 P.M. She was 6lbs 7oz. 20 1/2 inches. Mommy she is so cute. Dad cried when he saw her. She looks identical to me. I wish you were here to she her. We went to your house for the first time with her and I just wanted to cry cause it felt so weird that you weren't there to see her. I will tell her stories of all of the great moments that we shared together. We love you mommy (grandma) for ever and ever.

Love,
Your new born baby
Laura and
Your new granddaughter
