I love you, Grandma, and will miss you. I’ll always remember how you made the best grilled cheese sandwiches when I came to visit and how much fun you had in your later years before dementia took hold–you loved Vegas, visiting the Wisconsin Dells and you could put away a margarita as good as anyone. I hope to have half as much fun when I’m a “senior.” You were a shining example of living life to the fullest.
