I am her oldest grandson. I am very sad by her death and I was unable to attend her funeral by forces beyond my control. Although, I was able to speak to her before she died, I will forever miss her.

At a time when no one was there for me in my life, she was always there for me. I can never repay her kindness and am pained that I was unable to see her alive one last time.

In her loving memory, I know she would have wanted us all to live on, well and strong, to never forget her, and remember that someone always loves you, even when you don't realize it.
