I love you always, Grandma. Thank you for your kindness and unconditional love. Thank you for teaching us the value and uniqueness of patience and sweetness to all those around you. Your joy of life, travel and gardens is something I will remember you by always. Your beautiful gardens and abundant flowers, your love of painting and teaching. Your encouragement and compliments, no matter how awful my paintings were. Thank you for encouraging us to have fun as children and to live life to the fullest. Thank you for making the effort to visit your family around the world. I am so thankful to have spent some time with you this last year, seeing your final birthday, cooking your shepherd's pie, and seeing your smiling face when we talked about the lovely flowers in bloom. I will keep your love and smile with me wherever I go. Love you always, Juliet xoxo
Dear Grandma, I love you so much. I’m grateful I had the chance to see you this year and shower you with hugs and kisses. Your kindness, love, and patience have always been inspiring. You've taught me the importance of following my passions and supporting those I care about. Thank you for raising such a compassionate mother in Judith and for passing down your legacy of self-worth and love. Love you always, you are always with me. NatNat
