There is not one day that I don't think about you and remember how great of a "person" you were to so many. Not only were you loving and caring to family, but also to others in need. Better yet just near. Whenever possible I share one of my many stories of you with someone. It makes me light and able to smile for awhile, but the tears come tumbling after. Like now. I really miss you Gram. Thank you for all that you have done for me in my life and for those who always speak of you when they see me or any member of "YOUR FAMILY."
