Grandma, it has just been a little over a week that God took you to your forever home. I know that the day God called you home, angels were singing and you were welcomed with open arms. Part of us went with you but we know that you are resting in peace and happy once again to be reunited with Grandpa. I miss you and you will forever be in my heart. I can't wait for all of us to be with you once again. I will always look up to the sky and know you and Grandpa are watching over me and my family. Love you very much Grandma! Happy that you have been set free!
