Thank you grandmother for teaching us how to love and share. Your unselfish ways and giving heart burns in our souls and we will be forever grateful for all your kind and sacrificing deeds and gestures. Grandmother, you were the person who encouraged and supported us; gently guiding us in the best directions. You were a strong and courageous mother, graciously yielding to all around you. Your times with daddy will be forever planted in his thoughts and actions. Thank you for always being there.
