In Loving Memory...

10 Years ago on this day my grandmother passed away. She was only 63 so it came as a big surprise to everyone in the family. Even after this long, I know there isn’t a day that goes by when she’s not thought of. She was so strong, so loving and so caring. We all have such great memories of her. She was the backbone to our family and made us who we are. I remember when she passed away; I prayed that my mother could be half the grandmother to my children that my grandmother was to us. Although those seem like hard shoes to fill, my mom has no problem living up to it. I see the way my mom (and dad) are with Alyssa and me niece and nephews. All the children look up to my parents the same way I looked up to my grandparents. I am so grateful for them.

Grandma, I know we all remember the smiles you have left on our face. I can speak for everyone when I say that we are blessed to have such an honest and great person like you, and the love you gave us was so pure, honest and true. Thank you so much for being such a great inspiration. You are missed more and more every day.

There's holes in the floor of Heaven,

And her tears are pouring down.

That's how I know she's watching,

Wishing she could be here now.

And sometimes when I'm lonely,

I remember she can see.

There's holes in the floor of Heaven,

And she's watching over you and me.
