This was written by Lisa McConnell:
Grandma, with the gift of years comes the treasure of knowing that there are many who love you dearly.
The memories you've made with us will last forever. The tenderness you've shared with us will never fade.
The most wonderful gift you could ever give is that special part of you that now lives in each of us.
And the truth your love has taught us can only be strengthened by the gift of time.
For where roots grow deep, memories grow forever
