Oh Grandma you are so beautiful! One of the greatest joys of my life!!! I could write for hours but it’s between you and I…after all you know how much I love you, you even had your little “Gracie” to prove it. Have fun up there with my Daddy and Grandpa…when they passed I couldn’t believe I lost both my Ben’s in the same year and now my Grace:( I love you precious! This world will not be the same without your spirit but I thank God you are at peace.
