    Grammy, we love you so much. I have such great memories of you that I will never forget. We had so much fun playing pizza and making forts. As I grew up, it was very clear to me just how loving and special you were, you are the sweetest woman I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and you were my Grandmother. What a blessing. I remember to always say my payers the way you taught me. “Angel of God, My Guardian Dear, to whom His love commits me here, ever this day, be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen". We Love you Grammy.
