I am so thankful that Grandma Smith was able to be my grandma! She was the best I could have ever asked for. She was someone that I looked up to and have so much respect for. I am certain I will never meet another person as sweet, selfless, and loving as her. She was the sweetest grandma ever and set such a great example for her children and grandchildren. I'm so thankful for the way she raised my dad and the values she taught him. My grandma had a lot of grandkids and great grandkids and I guarantee that each one of us think that we are her favorite. I have so many memories of my grandma that I will treasure forever and hope that I can grow to be like her. She always spent her time caring for others even in her last days she wanted to make sure Grandpa was ok and taken care of. It was so sweet to see how much they loved each other. My favorite time is when they lived out on the farm and we'd stay with them and go play out at the big tree in the fort our cousins built. We played on the 3 wheeler most of the day and we rarely were inside. We made up our own play land on the side of a mountain called "secret" (weren't we creative). She encouraged us to use our imagination and to get out and play. She truly loved her family and they were her everything! She's only been gone a couple months and I miss her so much. I know that she is not in anymore pain and I know she is free from the temporal trials and for that I am grateful. I am grateful for the knowledge that I will see her again and be able to hug her! The sweetest memory from the funeral is when my grandpa went up to her and said I'll see you soon! What an amazing amount of faith he has! I love you Grandma and you'll be missed until we meet again!

My last picture I took of her February 2009 (she hated having her picture taken so I snuck this one)

Your words about your Grandma were beautiful and made me think a lot about my Grandma that passed 18 months ago. She sounds like a wonderful woman and someone to be proud to be a descendant of. I'm positive that she is so proud of you and is watching over you each and every day.
