Doris,
Thanks for everything you did for me. You were a great women! You always said would say "hi" to me whenever I would walk past your house. I loved when I got to interview you for our dinner we had a few months ago! I will miss you.
Thanks for saying that about my grandma. She was an amazing woman who loved everyone, not once did she ever complain about her problems she always wanted to know how everyone else was doing but never said anything concerning herself. I'll always miss her she wasn't just a grandma but my best friend. thankyou for saying something nice about her she deserves it.
