"Mother's Grandchild"

A quiet peace overcomes me, when I think of you.
We had a special bond between us that began with my birth and continued until your passing away.
You've always touched, engaged, and intertwined your life with mine, whether we were face-to-face or at a
distance.
I look at mom, I think of you! I look at me, I think of you! Generations of you, that no one could match.
Your gentleness and love so sweetly enlightens my longing soul.
Engrossed in life...lovingly set free to love and be loved.
You were always at peace with yourself and life for what it is and was...Your values and beliefs were strong, and through this, everything you stood for was passed on too me!
I've reached out my hand to your tenderness; you're my friend, companion, mentor, and most of all... "The Greatest Grandmother Ever!"

Mother,

I see you, yet as you lay sleeping, just as you were before...
I will miss and love you always!
