“Find happiness through our memories, our children, and our grandchildren. Don't cry for me, for I am waiting for you,” it ends.

Mendez said her grandmother was so touched by the surprise, which she received four days after her husband's death.

When Mendez posted a photo of the surprise on Twitter everyone sobbed.
