Thinking and reflecting about life there are few people that have the ability to touch people the way my grandmother did. She had an energy, and a way of being that could light up a room. She would put other people above and beyond her own needs. She gave so much love, and affection. It was not only an honor, but a true privilege to be her grandson. Her loss is very painful , but what saddens me is that we lost a individual of true character who touched so many lives. The irony is that I didn't only lose my grandmother but I lost my best friend.
