Dear Grandma, I was completely devastated by your passing. Although we weren't included in your obituary, I want you to know that you were always my grandmother to me, including when I was a child. You actually were my grandmother longer than my biological grandmother and saw both of my marriages and were the only great-grandmother my children had. So there was no "step" in there for us, you were grandma. Matthew and Emily were also were very upset but as Emily put it, grandpa was there waiting for you and the love you two shared was an inspiration to all of us. I truly loved the time we spent together after grandpa died and the conversations we had while holding hands and crying together. I'm glad I could always come up with a memory that made you laugh or smile in the end. You and I grieved together as we had been through the awful experience of his death together. You were very strong and I'm so glad we made all those decisions together. I will miss you for all of my life. It was a gift to have a grandmother who loved us all so much. I love you so very much and thank you for accepting all of us as your own and especially for all you did for Uncle Billy. I hope you and grandpa are together now and happy again. Please watch over us as you always did in life. I'm comforted to know I have 2 angels up in heaven and you are once again keeping grandpa in line. You may be gone, but you were such a big part of my life you will never be forgotten. All those years, all the love and caring. You were one special woman and a part of you will always be in my heart. We love you so very much, Your grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Ron, Michele, Matthew and Emily
