For all of my nineteen years, I always prided myself in being fortunate enough to have both of my Great Grandparents in my life. On Sunday, August 19th, it became time for my Grammy to leave her place with us on earth and take a new one in heaven. I am blessed to have enjoyed her company and to have made so many special memories with her, which will be held in my heart for a lifetime. Myself, along with countless others who's hearts she touched will miss her greatly. Until we meet again Grammy--I will never forget you
