Grandma,
I'm sad to know that this life's dream has ended for you but I know you're looking down right now knowing that 5 living dreams stand in this room I call home which used to be a very lonely place and that would've remained my unseen dream if it weren't for you. A life that you named will live on in a life I named, she loves you so much! The moments you shared with Charlie (mine and yours) will forever be cherished by us all!
"I was just standing alone in this room, surrounded by memories we stopped making too soon and I was just thinking all to myself how I still want you and nobody else"
I wouldn't change one damn thing, you were my family, you were my example, what that means is my business and no one else's.
I love you Grandma, see you in my dreams for the rest of my life and in that room that's getting less lonely as the years go on, tell Fred I said hey gramps and tell Charlie I love him and miss him and make sure you tell em both about all the beautiful nieces and nephews and grandchildren.
I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU
Love always, Your Grandson, Corey
