Dear Grammy,
We love you deeply, We'll miss you so much. You were truly a gift from God, a light that others seemed to gravitate towards. Thank you for being what we needed when God called our own mother home many years ago. Thank you for the sacrifices you made to raise and take care of us. We are blessed because you were a blessing. We'll never forget that or you. The laughter, the conversations, the lessons, celebrations and more. We'll never forget how much you loved us. Thank you. Yes, we will miss you but we will hold on to the memories of you. You will forever be in our hearts.
Much Love,
Ivan, Delisha & Douglas
