GOODBYE GRANDMA

Well here I am 4 days later. My grandmother passed away around 5am 06-10-08. I am so happy she is out of her pain, yet I am so sad that I can not hold her hand anymore. This women held our family together and now that she is gone, will we all be ok? I just want to let her know, that all my life I have looked up to her and have tried to make her proud of me, I hope she passed on knowing that. Until we meet again I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
