I will miss you Kay like I miss my daughter. We had a special relationship and I love you dearly. You made me laugh so often. We had so many good times together. You had so many friends, you didn't know what to do with them. (Those friends know exactly what I mean by that.) You were like a magnet drawing everyone around you closer.
Rest in peace, my dear friend and I will see you again one day.

grams, I know ur lookin down on me every day... Not that it's diff than any other time throughout my 32 years with u in my life... But, I can feel u more now than I ever have. I miss you tremendously. I'm lucky to have a voice mail where u sang "happy birthday" to me with gramps and even thought it's tough to listen to, it makes me smile knowing how much you loved me and how much it would mean to me to hear you sing me that! You have been more than a grandmother, more than a friend, more than a drill srgt lol throughout my time spent blessed with you in it... I know you're an angel now, but... You always were my angel! There won't be a day that goes by when I won't think of a cool/warm breeze or a blissfully gliding butterfly or even a perfectly cooked eggies in a cup won't remind me that you're with me! For each second with you, I'm greatful! I know you're not in anymore pain, anymore sadness and anymore longing to just feel better... I know where you are up in heaven is just where you wanted to be, at peace from all that!! I want to be angry that you're no longer here with us but if there's anything you've taught me its to realize... To have the strength to get through any hard times with a little faith in whomever I pray to (something you never let me forget)! None of this seemed real until today for me. I went to call gramps and I have ur # saved as "grams/gramps" and it brought a tear to my eye. I'm sure for the near future, holidays, birthdays and just those random days when I'd call u and shoot the shit will be tough to get through but we'll all be fine! I'm going to miss you grams! Keep us all strong throughout our lives like you were through yours, especially the end! Mostly, I want to ask you to keep a special grasp on momma and gramps... They may not show it much but I know they're really going through it! I am too but with just knowing ur not hurting anymore is enough to get passed the sadness and get to a point of acceptance! From our times at the lake, garage sale-ing, cooking lessons, card game lessons, lectures, fights, hugs, smiles, jokes, talks and loving... I won't forget a thing and am blessed to have had shared those moments together with you! I can't wait to see you again! Keep giving me the strength and appreciation for life now like you did when you were here! I don't want to stop writing cause I feel like you'll actually read this lol it's a strange feeling knowing ur not here grams to tell you all this, it's bringing tears to my eyes again!! So... On that note, I love you gma!! I miss you!! Keep a chair open for me up there for a mean game of spite and malice when it's my turn to take my trip to heaven!!
