Good-bye grandma (ma-ma) I'll never forget all the trips to the corner store and all the milkshakes. Thank you for taking care of me when i was in elementary school. I tried to keep my promise, i think i was a good older brother.... I love you and I'll be good. I'm so sorry I can't make it to see you one last time. I really tried. I hoped you liked Eden when we came to visit. She says she loves you too. see you later ma-ma. Roy Jr.
