Gramma i grew up with you. You taught me how to play cards, how to climb trees, how to cook wonderful dishes, and what it was like to be a farmer, you came to all my school concerts and basketball games, you were there when i graduated highschool and when i had a baby, i miss you like crazy, but there is no doubt in my mind you will be waiting at the gates when its my time to step through. Tell grampa i said hi and give him my love. And may you rest in peace and love.
