Grandma, you will be in my heart! Thank you for teaching me how to crochet. That will always be one of my hobbies and I will always be thinking of you when I'm working on a quilt, scarf, or wall blanket. Thank you for all your love, family stories, and just random talks we had. Love you, Grandma! <3
