Grandma, I loved you so much and I know you understand why I can't be there. Dad, you have been a strong, caring son to be there with your sister to make the final arrangements. Aunt Kathy, I can't tell you how much you mean to me. You have always been there to help pull me up when I have been down and troubled. You never know how much someone means to you until they are gone. May God's love surround you at this time of grief. Dad, I love you so much and I wish that you didn't have to go through this. Kathy, you have given up many years of your life to take care of Grandma. That was your path in life, and I know that God has a special place for you in heaven. I ask for only one thing -- that the family hold hands in a circle and say the Lord's Prayer.
With all my love,
Rosie
