I don’t even know where to start. This was so unexpected, and I can’t believe I am writing this. So, on behalf of my grandpa, I am asking everyone for help to lay the best grandma in the world to rest. It was something no one was ready for, especially my grandpa. His soulmate since they were 17 years old and wife of 51 years. He is devastated and just wants to give her the best send-off possible.

She was such a kind soul, a loving grandma and mom, the rock to our family, and the funniest person I knew. I’m so glad I got to have her in my life not only as a best friend but one awesome grandma. We have many memories together, I can’t even begin to count. Whether it’s staying in watching movies together, being with her and cooking together every holiday, talking all night long and driving grandpa nuts because he just wanted to go to sleep (sorry grandpa), going on late-night cookie runs, swimming every day during the summer, dancing in the middle of the store not caring who’s watching, and many, many more magical things. I love how she was never afraid to just unapologetically be herself no matter what and no matter who was watching. I was always embarrassed when she would pull her shenanigans in public and would run to hide but laugh from afar. Now that I’m looking back at it, I’m regretting not being out there looking stupid with her. Instead of being embarrassed, I definitely should have embraced it. She was the most outgoing person I know, and now I’m gonna try to be that for her. I am still gonna talk to her every day no matter if she wants to listen or not. I hope she paints me beautiful sunsets every night so I know she is watching over me. But, with all that being said, I’m gonna look on the bright side of things like she would have wanted me to and just thank the Lord for letting me be a part of her life. I know I am who I am because of her love and care. I am so eternally grateful that I got to spend her last day with her. I’m gonna try my absolute hardest to keep our family together and continue the job you started. So now I ask everyone for your generosity to help with funeral funds as you know they tend to be very expensive as is living alone. My grandpa is already going through a hard time in life with this loss, and now he has to maintain a home for himself as he’s never done before.

I wanna thank everyone in advance for your condolences and contributions.
