I won't be here for the next three days because my grandma passed away today. Just wanted to tell you all.

We're sorry about your loss.

As someone whose grandmother often served as a third parent around the home, I can empathize with your sorrow.

Since my mom died when I was four she was my second mom like you mentioned. She always loved me, I loved her too.

David: I am sorry about the loss of your Grandmother. Like you, I was very close to my Grandmother and she was a second mother to me. Take care.

David, sorry about your loss. I know how it feels, having lost all four of my grandparents over the years. Keep a stiff upper lip and you will get through this. Jim
