Mi abuilta there isn’t a day that goes by I don’t have you on my mind. Knowing you are pain free an with my momma an Billo course grandpa. I came across some pics an your smile warmed my heart. It told me I was gonna be just fine. I admired your strength an you were so brave during the last days. We had our conversation without even talking. I still go to your old room (cause now you have a mansion) saying good morning sunshine an there was that smile. You were the best grandma ever You will always hold that special place in my heart. I miss you so much I love you even more. Please continue to watch over us. Give my momma an Billo an grandpa big hugs , Heaven has all my angels I love you.
I miss you so much! And I know that you have never corrected me, but I have always called you Aunt Eve. And I remember going to watch Billy race, and you would buy me a Butterfinger and a Coke! And I will go play bingo for you, just without the dobbers.
Love you Beautiful.
