Dear avangi
Actually This message is for my deceased grannie so I should use "Your" if I'm not mistaken. "Of all your grandchildren, I loved you most."

Thanks avangi

Hmmmm - So you should say, "I will meet you in Heaven, I promise, Gramdma."

Are you sure you want to imply that the others loved her less??

Dear avangi,

Well you are correct. I'm not sure whether my cousins loved her more than me. Ok why not i should put like this "Of all your grandchildren, I believe I loved you most." You know its just a letter. No one would view it unless I want it to. So, It really doesnt matter if they(my cousins) loved her less or more.

Best wishes, Trouper

That works. Good luck on keeping your promise.

I'm very sorry to hear of your grandmother's death. You're right - this is personal, and no one will see it unless you want them to.

But, you could say this: You know that none of your other grandchildren loved you more than I did.

That leaves room for them to love her just as much as you (but not more) or less.

Hi Trouper, sorry for the absence - had to fix a leak in the roof.

I think GG's suggestion is perfect.

Best of luck, - A.
