John, Jen and Melody,
We are heart broken for you. Grandma Thorn was a beautiful soul. I always remember how she was so happy and loved everyone without judgement. I know you’re always going to want more time, But rest assured she will have your spot waiting for you in the Lord’s eternal rest. Love you all.
