Dear Grandma,

I have missed you and thought of you often. I am so happy you got to meet my beautiful oldest daughter, but so sad that you were unable to meet my youngest. I wish we would have had more money and been able to come visit, but hard times have not allowed it. I miss you dearly and can't wait til I get to introduce you to my baby when we meet in Heaven. I love you and miss you and am thankful for having had you as a great grandma!
Love always, XOXO,

I really miss Grandma, but I know that she is having an amazing reunion with Dad and all the family that has gone home before her. It's human to be swallowed up in grief, but we have hope because we have eternal life in Jesus and we know that we will see her again. I am so thankful for the legacy of faith that was passed down from Grandma. Thank you Grandma for sharing your faith with your family!

I love you!
