    To my dearest grandmother. 9 months have passed and I still think about you everyday. You will always have a large piece of my heart. In every way you were the most amazing woman I have ever met. I read these beautiful messages from your friends below, knowing I am not the only one who misses you and grieves you everyday. You taught me everything about life, success, hard work and most importantly love. Grandpa will never be whole without you, and frankly neither will I. I will carry you with me, everywhere I go. I graduated Highschool last week, I thought about how you would be in the stands with that beautiful smile from cheek to cheek, you always were my biggest fan, as I am yours. I start university in the fall and I know you will be with me the whole way there. I miss you more than you will ever know. Until we meet again, I pray you are watching over me. I love you always.
