Thank you for sharing this with all of us. Your words are so beautiful. I believe you can measure the goodness in an individual based on the love that they are able to ripple out in to the world. It is clear to me that your grandmother was a great woman, full of love and warmth and that her goodness will continue to create waves through you and your family.

Thinking of you and yours,

Sarah A.

Thanks for touching me like this, and I hope to meet you at some of Bruce’s concerts in the future.

This is one of Springsteen’s greatest gifts – to be able to touch people who are most in need of comfort.

It was a beautiful send-off, and thank you for sharing your relationship with her, woven together with your experience and comfort through music, with all of us. What a wonderful thing for Grandma to have a grandson like you. A lovely life. Lucky lady.

Thinking of you today — Kirsten
