Year 25 was not a very good year and year 26 is not a good year. I lost my twin sister and a good friend. We had our moments but I loved you, and always will. Love your sister, Eva

Grandma, I’ll never be able to describe in words how deeply I miss you. I thank god everyday that I was blessed to be your granddaughter. You will always be my heart and soul. I thank you for everything you did for me. You guided me, taught me to be tough, protected me. Most of all you loved me endlessly. I miss you terribly but I carry your love everywhere I go. Kaiden will forever know her YiaYia loved her too the moon and back.
