Dearest Grandma...

I will miss you with all my heart.

I will always remember you and how you took care of me when I was growing up.

I will miss the cooking, and the nap we all had to take after dinner while you did the dishes.

The rides downtown with you to the doctor, dentist and Marshal Fields on the bus when I was small are still in my thoughts.

I can still see you in my garden wearing Bill's fishing hat (blue of course!) picking all the vegetables and telling me "nothing is thrown away"!

I will miss your comments and thoughts, your vitality and stubborness for life.

I will never replace your stories, and the talks that we had each week at your home, apartment and the Villa.

You are in the best place now, Grandma. You are with your sons and sisters and brothers that you have not seen in a long time.

I know my sister, Susie, is now smiling that she can be with you.

God will be good to you and probably give you the biggest kitchen in the world so you can make the food (especially the artichokes) that your sons (and Susie) were waiting to have until you came!

I love you with my heart, Grandma. I will never forget you or the vitality for life that you have shown me.

God, take care of Grandma until she and I are together again.

Love

Vivi
