| IN LOVING MEMORY ALEJANDRA KOSTUR 1919-2002 |
| Dear Grandma, Even now you're still the most beautiful person and most loved in my entire life. Leaving our family this past summer, not a day goes by that I don't think of you. You lived a life of generosity and love. Every lesson in life I learned from you. I treasure the memories I have of you and I know that you finally got your wish. As the true foundation of the family, it's hard to know the weekend visits and the smell of fresh tortillas is now at an end. You still live in my heart with your stubborness and compassion for life. Everyone who knew you was truly amazed by you.The birds miss you. I see them in the yard and I smile because I remember how much they used to make you smile. You had a beautiful smile. Sometimes I wish you were still here so I could ask you for advice. But you wouldn't want me to be selfish and I know you would want me to start learning for myself, so I won't bother you now. We had some really fun times, didn't we? The best had to be the shopping. Remember when you used to hang on my mom and my aunts and drag your feet and go as slow as possible? It was always so much fun when you would take your time with them and then speed around the store with me. Before this happened, you told me "no tears, my Mandy" but sometimes I can't help it. I miss your hug and your smile. I especially miss your laugh. You had a great sense of humor. I hope things went how you wanted them too. You had talked about it so long, it didn't seem like it could really happen. Well, you always were full of determination and surprises. I found that picture of us when we went and had our hair done together. When we both had it all chopped off. Thanks for being on my side. Mom never would have agreed to it if you hadn't helped me out. And we both had a lot of fun and looked really good in the end! Those were the good times I'm really missing. The double-team to help us both get our way. We had excellent results too. I'm going to make you proud now. All those things we talked about, I'm going to do them. All things you wanted me to have, I'm going to have them. All the dreams we shared, I'll never forget them. I love you Grandma and I'll be seeing you. Your Very Proud Granddaughter, Amanda |
