You were such an inspirational woman to everyone you met. I'm lucky to say you're my grandmother.
I will fondly remember your smile, the way you would sing with the birds in the morning, you're radiant energy and especially the talks we had.
You would tell me about your life and beliefs. Why it's so important to focus on the bright side, and have unconditional love and understanding for everything. To notice the things most people would ignore.
I thank you for these valuable lessons because they gave me a sense of purpose. Everyday I use what you've taught me to teach others. I will smile as much as possible and carry on your lightwork the best I can while you're dancing in the heavens, sipping wine with the divine.
I love you
Rest peacefully
