"Grandma, you will be dearly missed...your smile, your witty personality, and your big heart! Thank you for teaching me so much...how to be independent, helping me with school work(I tried to pass along to Em the book idea of under the pillow - she just looked at me funny), oh and keeping me inline, too! And the memories...of Sunday dinners and matching outfits! I?m going to miss hearing...Peggy, I love you! You filled my heart with love and our bellies with food! Selfish, wish we could have you forever...but God called you home. ??"
