The day I found out that my grandma passed away I didn't wanna believe it but it hit me when I walked into her hospital room and saw her for myself, it was the worst thing for me to see and go through. I know she is in a better place now and we all miss her and love her to death. You did so much for me when you were here, since i was in diapers I appreciated everything you did for me and I was very blessed to have a grandma like you. You taught me a lot, you were a big influence in my life, you were the strongest woman I know and so much more.. I miss you dearly and I think about you everyday. I love you, till we meet again.
