As we put you to rest today, I'm overwhelmed by all the amazing memories we shared. Not just as a young girl but also a growing adult. You taught me how important it is to be a strong and independent woman. We talked often and you were my voice of reason through a lot of trials in my life. It has been so painful without you grandma. I'm going to miss you dearly. Please say hi to Gabi for me and the boys. I know Gabi will love and enjoy you in heaven just as we all did here on earth. You are my rock, my strength, and my hope. I'm so blessed to have you as my grandmother!!!

I feel blessed for the time we did have together. Remembering how
We collected jewelry together. Teaching you how to use Craigs List. Boy did you get good at that.
Im going to miss talking with you the most. You always made time to listen. Love you Mom

I miss you! I hope I've made you proud, Grandma. With your advise and encouragement I am a strong independent woman; I have raised a beautiful family; I have a successful career and endless opportunities on the horizon. I promise to conquer gardening and sewing, and to drink green beer every St. Patty's day. My grandma was one of a kind! I'll miss cooking beside you every holiday and listening to your unique perspective about this wild world and family.
Lots of Love Grandma! ??
