One year ago this week the physical world lost one of the most amazing women I will ever know in my life, my Great Grandma Edith Monroe... Better known as Grammy Roe. Some of my greatest memories growing up consists of going to her house and hanging out with her and my Grandma Gail. She would hold me on her lap and tell me stories, and she always made such a big deal of everything we accomplished in
life. She makes you feel like you can conquer the world. She surely did. Just by talking to her you learn so many things of value. I had the opportunityunity to stay with her on a few occasions because My grandpa and Uncle (her husband and son) would go out of town and unfortunately in her circumstance she couldn't care for herself. No matter she had spent more than half of a century caring for all of us. She thanked me over and over again for helping her. I am not sure if she will ever know how much she truly helped me.
3 Nephi 15:9 Look unto me, and endure to the end, and ye shall live; for unto him that endureth to the end will I give eternal life. She truly endured to the end of mortality, and suffered through a lot physically before she was able to cross over. She now lives on in paradise as does her love for all of us. I love you Grammy!

I fed off her strength for a long time trying to find my place in it all. When I first started going to church about 5 years ago, while no one else, immediately, was really active, I knew I could always go to her with my questions or concerns. The moment I walk into her room I always feel loved, peace, and cared for. That women would do anything for me, my siblings, any one in our family. Her love is limitless. I regret now taking her location for granted. She lived next door to our house for the last few years of her life, and gratefully I know it will not be the last time I see her. I still feel her lo

On my 16th birthday she came me a little angel charm a friend had given her many years before. She told me every one needs a guardian angel looking for them. I'm grateful to know she is that angel now.
