My beautiful grandma.

Thank you for sending me wishbones tied with purple and pink ribbons, feeding me butter and crackers, letting me eat all of the marshmallows out of the lucky charms box, buying me endless amounts of beach towels, and for letting me know how special I was to you.

My grandma played a huge part in the person I am today, I wouldn't be the old soul who loves NPR, gardening, baking, learning, crafting and of course a great bargain without her.

What makes her truly special is her ability and desire to always meet the needs of others. She never arrived without a gift, a snack, or a kind word. I have countless cards and books filled with handwritten notes left just to remind me how much she loved me. These little moments are cherished memories that will last much longer than either she or I are here to share them.
