  3. It’s been 2 years since you’ve been gone mawmaw.  It’s still hard to believe each day.  I miss your laugh, your phone calls.  I miss feeding the birds with you at your home.  You are the funniest person I’ve ever met and known and I tell stories about you all the time to Daritza and the babies . I wish you were here to see your great grandchildren. I know you are loved up in heaven like you are here.  Just wanted to say I love you so much and miss you always. There will never be anyone like you.
