“As a Grandma to a few, a Mother to some, and a friend to many, you were with us until the end, You ignited a faith that overcomes odds. You fed hotdogs after school, you let your home be pulverized each day of the summer. You spanked us when we deserved it even if we laughed afterwards. But, most of all? You were a friend that didn’t judge and a friend that always loved. See ya later, Grandma.”
