Grandma, Its hard to imagine you not being here and being able to talk to you. There is not one memory that I have that you have not been a part of it. Thank you for all of the wonderful things that you taught me and thank you for preparing me for the future. After all you loved get togethers with the family. You used to make the best Sunday dinners of fried chicken and roast beef. Have fun visiting again with your mother and dad. You have been missing them a lot lately. Now you and grandpa can go for car rides in heaven. You would be so proud of the way your family is doing. You will have a very nice funeral full of the people that love you. Know that I love you and will think of you often. Love Linda
