Gma, I can't put in words what an important part of my life you have been...my grandma and my friend. I'll miss our Christmas baking when you'd say "Jessi, what did you do?!" and then try to figure out how to fix whatever i did...yet you still defended my cooking and not even I know why! I'll miss you telling us to change the channel the moment you heard Wheel of Fortune come on. I'll miss our laughs, the game nights and teasing, asking what you want for dinner and laughing because neither of us ever knew, you trying to sneak food by me but we both know those eggs were suspicious!! There's so much to say, I hope you know how much i love you and i miss you to my core.

Mom, we sure had a lot of good tìmes; vacations, St. Patricks Days, biker stuff, doing all those cakes! We had lots of great adventures over the years too. But even though you had to make this adventure alone, I'll catch up to you later. Love You Ma.
