Grandma– that summer that I spent with you seeing Grandma Ufer EVERY SINGLE DAY where I complained and you kept telling me what a great person I was to do that with you rubbed off on me. I know that I wouldn’t be volunteering in the places I do if it weren’t for that. I wish I could have gotten my kids down to meet you, but I know you see them now from your place in Heaven.
GG- I love what you are and who you were. I appreciate all you did for me over the years, and how you never once let me believe that I didn’t matter. I became who I am in part because of who you are. I believe that you are in a much better place now with so many people you love. I hope that you are surrounded by good food and beautiful flowers. I can only imagine that Grandpa is with you and that the two of you are once again with one another forever. Save a special place for me along side you in your wonderful place. I will be looking for you in all I do, hoping and praying that I can make people feel just a fraction of the great way that you made people feel. I love you –GG, Todd
Grandma, We will miss you very much. We love you.
