I've had a hard time finding my words, and am not the best at sharing my feelings, but would like to share what my beautiful Grandmother meant to me.
Grams had a hand in raising me, helping mold the foundation of who I am.
She was one of my favorite people to talk to, our conversations were always special catching up with our own lives as well as what was going on with the rest of the family. Even after talking for hours, you were still left wanting more.
Our family is spread out but Grams helped make it feel like we weren't as far apart. Grams was one of a kind and always made you feel like you were the most important person in the world and to her you were, she had enough love in her heart that every person she loved was the most important person to her.
Whenever we spoke she never had a bad thing to say about anyone even if someone had annoyed her she would brush it off because the love she had for them was more important than a temporary annoyance and she always wanted them to know they were loved above all else.
That is the legacy she leaves behind is that every member of her family no matter how they became a part of it, rather you were born, married, or adopted into the family, you knew without a shadow of a doubt this beautiful wonderful person with the heard of an angel loved you, so no matter what was happening in your life you knew there was at least one person and place where you were always welcome and loved.
I don't know when it started but every time I sent a card to my Grams I called her my beautiful Grandma, she was one of a kind and will truly be missed, but will always be a part of us as will the love she shared.
I know someday I will see you again but until then Goodbye to my beautiful Grandma, my Grams
Miss you so much, Grandma, but I’m forever grateful for your example of love and kindness. Until we meet again! Xoxo
I’m so sorry to miss the funeral. I loved Ruby and will miss seeing her at the reunions. My love to the family.
Ruby was great. Always super nice. I will miss her.
