Death notice for the town of: Ottawa, state: Illinois
Granny, granny, granny how much guilt and regret I have for not being there enough. I still can’t believe your gone. When we moved away I lost contact besides your short visits to avoid reality like I always do I would give anything to rub your shoulders and talk to you just one more time. I’ll never forgive myself for going home to pack for vacation instead of coming to see you the last possible chance I had your the one person that showed me what it truly means to be loved or love someone. I beg everyday for you to show me a sign I miss you so much and I’m lost I know if you were still here I’d have someone to come to without you I’m alone. Being alone makes me wanna get back to you sooner than God’s plan I miss you granny life will never be the same. See you very soon love tan.
