There isn't any words that can describe all the things that she has done for me. She was always there for me, she would give you all that she could. She was my life and helped me through without her I don't even know where I would be and what I would have done. Grandma wasn't just an ordinary grandma she was a mother to me and my sister even though we have and love our mother she took over. I Love You Grandma and I will miss you dearly.
