Corie Leon lit a candle

“Dear Grandma, I am writing this because my heart still finds it hard to believe you are gone. I thought for sure you were going to live 10 more years. I will always cherish our special moments together-from the simple talks we shared to the comfort of just sitting in your presence. I miss your voice, I miss your hugs, and I miss the way you made everything feel so special. But I find comfort in knowing that you are at peace now, free from pain, and watching over us. I love you, Bye for now Corie”

It is pretty amazing that you decorated your house with your Halloween decorations 2 days prior to you going out as you would say. Bye for now, I love you so much!”
