On the back I put her most recent picture and his picture in his Army uniform next to it on the label with the words "I will always be your Guardian Angel". I put 2- 9" square pockets on the back, one for her to put a journal in to write things in that people tell her about her daddy and the other to write notes to him. I put long ties in it so that at night when she goes to bed she can say a prayer for him and tie a knot in one of the ties.
She will not let it out of her sight and her half-siblings are not allowed to touch it.
What a beautiful thoughtful thing to do for your granddaughter, know she will treasure it, brought tears to my eyes.

Patty, love your moms quilt, are the sayings purchased or did you do them somehow? :D
