Condolences
Grams, I don’t know how we’ll get through this but you made us a strong family unit so I know we will. You’ll be forever missed and forever loved and there will never be another party quite as lively, but we’ll try to live up to yours. We love you; we’ll always be close. With love, Erika Erika G.
