She was the best grandma in the world it will not be the same without her will love you and miss you grandma.
she was the best grandma in the world. She was the rock that held our family together, so strong and caring. Even the simplest smile or laugh from her could brighten your day. She was tough yet gentle, and was always there for everyone when they needed her. Even if she was hurting or sick, she would say I’m alright or Don’t worry about me. She was the most caring person I have ever met, and she loved her family and friends with her whole heart. I love her and miss her more than words can express, I just know that now we have the best angel watching over us from heaven. I love you grandma Louise and I will miss you very much.
