I will miss you so much grandma. You meant more than you will ever be able to know to me and the rest of the family. I wish I was around more to express that to you. I never really thought that this day would come, and now that it has it''s is even harder to know you are no longer with us. I hope you left with some positive memories of me and will watch over me as so many of my days will continue to be touched by you. I love you. -Dane
