My Dearest Grandma,
I really wish I could be in Texas with the family to celebrate your amazing life. I'm so thankful to have been able to call you my grandma. You were always so kindest heart ever. There are so many memories I have of you and I will hold them dear to my heart. I remember playing around with grandpa's organ even though I am positive it drove you nuts. Anytime I knew we would be going to your house I secretly hoped you were cooking your famous chili. By the way I make it just like you did. Grandma, I love you so much.

I feel so unbelievably blessed to call you my grandmother and even though we were miles apart you always made me feel special. It hurts to know that I will never pick up the phone to hear the excitement in your voice to tell me a story or the I love yous before we hang up but the comfort of knowing you are in paradise with grandpa and my mom makes my heart so full. I love you forever and always, grandma!
