I love you so much and even writing this it’s hard to see through my tears. You were always on my side and always had my back no matter what I was going through. I am going to miss you calling me throughout the day and your ringtone “the cuppycake song”. I’m going to miss you singing happy birthday to me every year over the phone when I first wake up. Most of all, I am going to miss your hugs and I love yous! I’m happy I was with by your side when you left us but I’m so destroyed that I won’t get to see your smile or hug you again. I love you grandma and my heart is broken. I now have another guardian angel to watching over me. I love you forever! Your granddaughter, lisa.
