"God Knew Best!" I won't question Him. Through the tears of sorrow and despair, We must know that He makes no mistakes. We have to cherish the memories and hold on to them. As I kiss your cheek, to say "see you later", The times you made me laugh, the times you made me cry, you yelled, and you showed me the love of a grandmother. I will always cherish you! Rest eternally my sweet Nana. I will love you always! -Your O'Mar
