I have many fond memories of the time we shared. From eating chicken noodle soup, drinking Mountain Dew, and playing spades together. You were always a great grandma to me.
Thank you for always supporting me and accepting me as I am.
Now that you there are not any physical limitations, I hope you will be spiritually present at my wedding next year.
I love you and I’m looking forward to seeing you again in heaven one day.
Love,
Your First Grandson
