Grandma

This is my grandma. Beautiful, right? And amazing. Grandma was someone that you could look up to and follow her example. She went back to school at the age of 40 and got a Bachelors and Masters degree. She taught school for 17 years. (To my dismay. I was jealous of the children in her class. I don't like competition for affection.) She was a master seamstress. More importantly she was loving and kind to everyone.

We love her so much and are going to miss her a lot but we are glad that she is going to be able to be together with her sweetheart. I was able to have a few sweet moments with her the last few months, especially the last few days, and I will treasure them ALWAYS.

I'm glad that I was able to care for her a little bit the last few months.

Your grandma was a beautiful person and the world is a lesser place without her. You're a sweetie for taking care of her during her last few months. Love you - Stewart

It is truly a blessing to have been able to care for your grandma, and to show her that love. She couldn't doubt you and your families love for her. It is amazing/inspiring to have come from such wonderful roots.

You have been such a wonderful granddaughter to your grandma. I imagine you will cherish your time as caregiver for past few months for the rest of your life. Your grandma was just as lucky to have you as you were to have her.
