My Granny, words cannot express how much I miss you! You and Pomps were always there for me after school, after work, or weekend visits. I am going to miss your huge smile as I/we walked in the door, the way you played with our girls, and feeling so much love in your hugs. I know you are rejoicing with all our loved ones, give my pomps a big hug and kiss from me. I love and miss you both so very much!
