“When a Grandma is around, you always feel loved.” This quote is so true of Grandma. Love was in the gifts she would bring us everytime she came to visit. Love was in every card she sent and the reason she never forgot a birthday. Love was in every stitch of the barbie doll dresses she crocheted. Love was in every step she took when we shopped for endless hours on our visits. Love was in the way she fed the squirrels and cared so deeply for the world around her. Love was in her smile, her laughter, her eyes. Love was in the way she followed God and walked in His ways all the time I knew her. Grandma was my grandma, and I loved her so much. I will miss her.
We would like to convey our sympathies to the family. We know how much she was cared for and how much she will be missed.
I remeber when she would come to my home and buy us something or do something nice for the whole family but now she cant do that but all the gifts I will not miss. I never really cared what she bought me I just liked to see her come to my home. When my mom was in tears when she heard she was in critical care with the pneumonia I made an email to every youth group leader to pray for her. About week later she passed away. I then emailed all of them again telling that grand ma passed away but i was not in sorrow but I was happy because shes in a better place with her husband. One of my youth group leaders emailed me saying “Just think of it as your grand ma being on vacation waiting for you mom and you to get there.” There’s not much to say but one day I’ll be with her in heaven. Until that day I will never forget about her.
