I will miss my gram very much. She was a very hard working woman who cared for many people, she could never say no. Her love for her family and friends will never be forgotton. I am blessed to have known her for almost 40 years and I am very lucky that my children got to meet her. I love you gram and I want to thank you for everything you did for me. I will never forget you. Rest easy and God bless you. You are an angel and God is lucky to have you.
