A tribute: The world lost one of its very, very best. I’m so sad that I won’t get to hear Grandma squeal “Oooo, I just LOVE you so!” for awhile, but I can only imagine her joyous reunion with all her loved ones – SO excited to see her again in heaven.
Grandma loved like few others could. Her love was BIG and extended to every single person lucky enough to meet her – not only her family or her lifelong friends, but truly any random cashier, wait staff, or attendant who crossed paths with her for more than 10 seconds. She had the rare gift of making whoever she was talking to feel like the most important person in the world. I wish more people could experience the kind of unconditional love that Grandma poured out so naturally and lavishly on everyone.
Grandma loved laughing, singing, dancing, exchanging stories, hearing about “our worlds.” She was sharp as a whip yet never lost a sense of optimism, no matter what life dealt her. She served others during their darkest times, yet always found the light. She’s left a spark in everyone that knew her, and I’m so blessed to carry that with me.
Thoughts and prayers are with you in the days to come.I 🙏❤
