My grandmother was an awesome person. She welcomed me as one of her own.... I remember cherry cheesecake and how she always had a watchful eye when swimming in the pool. Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear - Posted by: Thomas Hotson (step-grandson) on: Nov 05, 2014
