Love you grandma!!
Mom ,
I miss are morning coffee together but I know that you are breathing the fresh air in heaven now, no more pains or struggles. We'll always love you.
Hi Granny,
Just wanted to let you know that I kept my promise and back in February brought a new dog into the family. We named her Josie after you and she has a lot of your personality traits so it's like you're still in the house. Hope you are living it up in Heaven. Love, Sam.
