To My Grandmother Dorthy
There will never be a day that doesn’t pass that I will not miss you. There will never be a day that I don’t think about your smile, or your laugh. There will never be a day that I don’t remember how giving you were to everyone you loved, and there will never be a day that I don’t forget how forgiving you were to anyone who did wrong.
I will never forget all the memories you gave to me.
I’m forever thankful for you.
They say there is a reason
They say time will heal,
Neither time or reason
Will change the way I feel.
Gone are the days we used to share,
But in my heart you are always there.
The gates of memories will never close,
We miss you more than anybody knows.
In memory of Dorthy, if you knew her please take a drive around the L-C Valley today and remember her as you drive.
