Oh little grandma, I just dont know what to say, I love you so much, thank you for each and every memory you gave me. Thank you for making taffy with us and making crapes with peanut butter, thank you for making cheese stix and pop corn balls………I will never forget all the times driving up the road to your house and seeing your smiling face in the window waiting for us and you running to the door and kissing us and just being so happy that we were there with you. I miss every single second that I had with you, I love so very much. I miss your garden and your flowers, I miss dressing up in your clothes and I miss summersalts down the hallway and trying not to hit the brick wall. Remember when Amy and I put Icy Hot all over our faces because we thought it would make us pretty like you? That hurt!! I miss sleeping in your big bed and our colored plastic plates with seperations. I miss that smell of your house, I miss you so much, you were the best grandma, I love and miss you so much…….
