To our mother and grandmother, We love you more than words could ever tell. A piece of our heart will forever be missing. Your love was unconditional and your hugs could cure all. There will not be a day that goes by that we will not miss you. We're not sure how to go through this life without you, but you taught us to never give up and to keep fighting and that is exactly what we will do. We love you with all our hearts. Always and forever. Your little girl and loving grandson.
