Grammy I miss you so much. I will always take with me the memories we shared, from the every night rootbeer floats, shelling pecans while watching westerns and Touched by an Angel and taking the laundry to the mat just to name a few. I love you and will take you with me on every journey I take in life. You are forever in my heart.
I’ll miss you grandma, you’ll always be in my heart.
Whoever wrote also forgot her son and my uncle Robert Lachance who died a few years ago.
My condolences to you and your family for the loss of Ms. Lachance. May you find comfort in the words of our Lord Jesus in John 5:28,29 “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out……to a resurrection of life.”
