  • My grandma was a very Special person to me she was one of a kind, smart and very beautiful. She was the nicest person I've ever met and I miss her so much cause she was always there to put a smile on my face. Some of my favorite memories with my grandma are going to Harbor View together and having a great time together. Some other memories were just hanging out with her and talking about the past and all her memories she would share with me. I am glad to have someone like her in my life even for a short time I wouldn't be the person I am today with out my grandma. I love you and you will always be in my heart till I die. - Posted by: Brandon (Grandson) on: Oct 11, 2012
