I will so miss you grandma. I know you are free from the pain and confusion and I praise God for that. You will never be far from my thoughts or heart. I will always fondly remember the hours I spent learning to bake goodies with you, the hours I spent doing your nails, and the joy we had in the cake decorating class where we created the hilarious masterpiece of a cake for mom's birthday.
