Grandma,
We are sad that you are gone, but know that you are wathcing over us from heaven. We wanted to know what heaven is like and if you got to meet Jesus, yet? You were so sick here on earth, but we know you can now run, breath and do all the things you have missed doing for so long. Grandpa, TJ and Theadore are going to miss you,too. But one of these days we will all be together in Heaven - and what a day of rejoicing that will be. We love you Grandma. Good bye for now.
All Our Love,
Toby and Kaden
