Happy Birthday, Grandma Barb!
I wanted you to know that your family is a fantastic bunch! Your son Danny and Ellen have a beautiful family. They are magnificent parents to their daughters Mavis B and Quinn Louise. Mavis is crushing it at school, and Quinn is an adorable baby with a big appetite. She has auburn hair, blue eyes, and looks like you. Dan and Ellen are happy; they are working hard and are a great team.
Sumy joined us in Chicago for Thanksgiving this year. He was a joy to have around the table. He has a kind heart, a beautiful smile, and plenty of stories to share. Sumy won my heart and my Thanksgiving spirit award! I'm hoping that he makes us a new tradition.
Lexy lived in Chicago for a short time, and we were excited to have her close! However, Tony had more opportunities for them in New York, so she moved back. They have a beautiful kitten and a puppy! Lexy is healthy and happy and is a proud doting Aunt to Mavis and Quinn.
I pray every day that God will bless me with extra energy, and the wisdom to be a better grandma for our granddaughters, Mavis B, and Quinn. I was excited that we would be grandma’s together, but God had a different plan. I trust Him, and I know that He needed you more. Please, continue to watch over us and guide us; you are our Angel.
When I see a red cardinal or a field of yellow daffodils, I smile, stop, and listen for you.
I miss you every day.
Love,
Grandma A.
