Marjorie holds a special place in my heart for many reasons, one being because she was my great grandmother. She also contributed to buying me my beautiful horse named Hollywood Scarlet. She never forgot a single holiday, and she made me smile at family gatherings with her charming smile and optimistic attitude. Even though I only knew her for twelve years of my life, she still shaped me into who I am today. Because of all these reasons and so much more, I will never forget my great grandmother. No matter how many years pass.

Fiona, Your great grandma loved you very much and was very proud of you. Now that she can see again, I know she will be cheering you on at your horse competitions. It would have meant a lot to her to know that you were able to buy Hollywood!
Love,
Grandma
