I feel so lucky to have had my grandmother in my life for so long. She was always so close to me. She always worried about me even when I became an adult. During her last moments here, our roles were switched. I prayed for her and hoped for her to get better. Now that she is with God, I know she is in peace. I have such wonderful memories that I will carry with me my whole life.



Grandma, you gave so much and I thank you for that.



All my love,

Kerri
