Grams,
What I wouldn't give for one more day with you. My last words to you were "I love you with all my heart and soul, and that's all that matters." I got to give you a kiss on the forehead and see your eyes widen. You couldn't speak but you told me you loved me. I will miss you every second. Papa came and got you, and that's okay with me because you're safe and you're not suffering.
I love you with all my heart and soul and that's all that matters.
Love,
Toot

I am so sorry for those who are left behind in Mrs. Shough's family. Knowing Davina, she was so proud of you, as I am sure she was all of her huge family. Because words really can't fix the situation or feel like they help much, please take comfort in knowing that she is with the Father... free of pain, free of worry, free of suffering. You know you will see her again. I am lifting up prayers for strength and peace for all who knew and loved Mrs. Shough. God bless all of you...
I am with you always.
-Matthew 28:20
