Grandma, you were the greatest woman to exist in my life. Losing you has hurt me in many ways, but knowing you’re in a better place has also provided a light in the dark. I know you’ll always be watching over me, and to gain the greatest woman I’ve ever known as a guardian angel empowers me. I thank you for it all and cherish everything you’ve done for me. Morturi de Salutant.
Truly a light in a dark place. You will be missed and it was a great honor to have gotten to know you and I will never forget ya. You always made me smile and laugh.
Rest In Peace Arlene😇 My Condolences to the Family
