Dear Maw Maw,Today you met Paw Paw in Heaven after this long battle. I know your in a Much better place, but my heart is heavy. I know this was a rough battle for you since Paw Paw left us a year ago. While I was holding your hand yesterday, many memories ran through my head of all the silly things we did with you when we were kids. I'm so glad that you got to be a part of Connor and Haydens life. I will always keep you in my heart and hope you watch over me and my family. Until we meet again. I love you.
