Rosie,
Thank you for being my Grandmother for the last fifteen years. I will never forget my trip to your house in South Chicago Heights. That was my first time lighting off fireworks and catching fireflies, and I almost got to see a tornado. The last time we visited was for Christmas at Susan's house in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I had so much fun playing Uno and Sorry with Sally and Susan. I have many happy memories from my visits with you and I hope that you are at peace.
Love Courtney
