Grandma,
I never really got to tell you just how much you mean to me, and my family! You are amazing, you have seen so much, you have taught me so much... You are always and forever with us! I love you, I love you I love you! Whispering this into your ear was always so easy until last night! I know you heard me as you squeezed my hand, which I will never let go! I thought I was ready for this day, but seeing as I am weeping... I am not ready to let you go! I learned so much about you while you stayed with us... stories about Grandpa that I never knew, about your family... about you! I laughed with you, I cried with you! As I held you in my arms, I remember always telling you, "Grandma you did it for me and cared for me, let me do this for you..." this is still true! You held me in your arms when I was hurt, you comforted the pain... now I do this for you!
I LOVE YOU Grandma!
I remember one night you couldn't sleep, neither could I... we sat on the couch and talked until one in the morning... we both laughed and said it was so much fun and we needed to do it more often, and this we did! Grandma I will never forget the treasured moments we have been able to create over the past year! We grew very very close and I love the time we were able to have together and the time you had with Brayden, Carsen Elise, and Walker James! What amazing memories you have given us! I know you are with Grandpa and all of your family and I cannot wait to join the family reunion with you!!
I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU! I will see you in my dreams!
Love you,
me
I have to say that the staff at Grace and Good Shepard are so amazing! Never left our sides, prayed with us, cried with us... Thank you Alice for being the sweet sweet tender soul that we needed during this time! You are one amazing woman and I only hope to have half the strength as you! Precious Angel sent to us at the most perfect time... this is what you mean to me!

Oh Lauren, I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. I know how close you were to her and how much she meant to your entire family. You had me sobbing as I read your post. It truly shows how much you loved her. You and your family our in our prayers. Please, please let me know if there is anything I can do.
I love you friend, and I know that it was a hard day to say goodbye to her, she is such a wonderful place now! and B.Bill is there with her too :) Now our grandma can become friends :) She was a very beautiful woman inside and out and I am so glad that you all were able to spend the last year really getting to know each other on such a deep personal level. You truly showed Christ when you laid down your life and your desires for her, you loved her like Christ loves us! You were an amazing granddaughter to her and she was so very blessed by you and your family!
