Addasyn and I cleaned up Grandma’s, Grandpa’s, and Alex’s headstones today for everyone to enjoy on Tuesday. We realized that no one has posted on here. If anyone wants to make a post memorializing Grandma, you will need to make an account. We didn’t realize that was necessary.
We love and miss you Grandma. We can’t believe it’s already been a year without your beautiful smile and laugh. Not a day goes by that we don’t think of you.
“Things turn out the best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.” -Katherine Onealia Millar
