Grandma was Sophie's favourite person in the world. Ever since she was a baby, every gray-haired lady reminded Sophie of Grandma.
Sophie loves drawing pictures and painting for Grandma. When we were doing Xmas shopping, Sophie saw some yellow flowers and informed me that she wanted to give them to Grandma. For the rest of the day, every person she saw, she would show her flowers and tell them they were for Grandma.
Even though we live out of town, Nigel's and my girls always have a lot of love to give to Grandad and Grandma. Especially Grandma, and she will be deeply missed.
The girls and I are not able to be at the funeral, but I would like to send some love to Arthur, Graham and Nigel xxx
