You were so much more than just my grandma. You were my best friend, a mother figure when I needed one, and a shoulder to lean on. I miss you so much it hurts not seeing you sitting in the chair watching cowboy movies and eating your favorite popcorn. I miss our time together and the laughter we shared. I love you so much, grandma. May you Rest In Peace ❤️🙏🏻✨
