Dear Grandma,
When I think about the fact that I'll never listen to you tell your stories again or hear you say or do something shocking again, to make me laugh so hard I almost pee my pants, it brings me to tears again. I know you said you want us to think of all the good & fun times and celebrate your life so that is what I'm going to try to do. You were an AWESOME Grandma! I could not have asked for better. I want to be just like you when I grow up. LOL :-). Give daddy a big hug for me. I'll see you both again someday. You will forever be in my thoughts. I love you & miss you.
