I will miss you grandma, the letters you always sent from your typewriter with the missing letters on it. I will miss your great stories and I can hear your voice when I think of you. Your sense of humor and love are a huge part of my heart. There is a large hole in the world without you. I love you very much. Thank you so much for being a part of my life!! I am very fortunate and blessed to have had you in it. We all were.
