You were such a lovely lady and a constant source of inspiration and optimism. You were more to me than my grandmother, you were my friend, my cheerleader, and someone I admired all my life. You were always so pretty and put together, so funny, so charming, so welcoming, and so kind to everyone that crossed your path. I miss your perfect coffee, your mischievous grin, your mumbled prayers as you worked around the house, and how youd dance around the living room. I have no doubt that youre a wonderful addition to Heaven, but Im thankful God let you stay here on earth as long as He did. I enjoyed every minute of knowing you. I love you so much, and I miss you terribly.
