Hey grandma, I love you more than you ever knew, still do and always will. We had our moments, both good and bad. Either way we found some reason to smile or laugh about it all. I remember you, lauren, gabby, not sure bout the boys i think they went too,liz, annie, and I would always walk down to memory lane and get some yummy ice cream. I remember sharing a room with you and thinking you were asleep but you were awake and you watching me.. We had so many laughs and tears together, through it all we still loved eachother i wont forget coming home, getting off the bus seeing you sitting at the top of the driveway with Laci, just hanging out, as if nothing happened and it was all good. I also remember taking my my very first year of spanish class and trying to teach you everything i learned and just saying the basics to you like hola and como estas, estoy bien, and all that fun stuff:).You had a strong heart, full of passion and joy, you always wanted to help and you were always there when you were needed, you were so independent. I remember joking around with you and the family about you being our maid because you were always cleaning and doing our laundry for us. But your not our maid, your our grandma that we love with all our hearts and nothing, no one will ever change that. Grandma i love you always and miss you incredibly, that last day in the hospital Gabby, lauren, and I were right there where you could see us and we trying not to cry but you saw our tears run down our faces, you said "dont cry", you managed to find some strength to say that to us and we wont ever forget that. I cant begin to express how much i love you, you always accepted everyone you asked about everything going on and asked bout some of my friends, i will not mention. you always cared and you taught me to be strong its not as bad as it may appear/seem, you taught me to love and care for everyone b/c you never know when it will be your last moment you have to cherish with them. Lastly you taught me that family will be here til the end of time and to spend the moments you have and make the best out of it with the ppl you love the most. Grandma I love you a lot and will always, I will miss you dearly, i know your watching over me and your safe with the savior. Promise you wont forget me.. love always, Retta
