Dear Grandma, Thank you for teaching me to be a fearless woman and someone who loves and puts her family first. I will always cherish our many years and adventures together. You passed on many traditions to me that I will always honor. My favorite memories include the many holidays we spent together, finding that hummingbird in your back yard, and the time we walked to the top of Grave Creek Mound together less than ten years ago! I remember looking up at you and thinking "wow, this woman is amazing!" I am going to miss your smile and caring personality, but thankfully, all of you lives on in every one of our family members. I will love you forever and always think of you when I see a hummingbird or taste mint ; ) Your granddaughter Elissa
