It is her grandmother... and despite your current situation DD should not be penalized for your feelings towards your Ex. (I am assuming this is playing into it a bit). Also, as much as your feelings towards the ex may be good or bad, it is her mother and her daughter (custody aside). Seeing DD may help her deal the loss a bit better. You did say she was a sweet and funny lady, and although DD may not have had a lot of time to spend with grandma, it may be good for DD to hear stories of the life of her grandma. Those may plant some lasting memories in her. Just my opinion, obviously you are closer to the situation than I.
I could agree that my feelings towards DDs mother does affect the situation. DDs mother lives about 2 miles from DD, according to her, she has been clean for over a year. But has reached out to see DD only 2 times in that year. She hasn't bothered to call and she raises her daughter(DDs older sister) and her bfs 2 boys. They did family pictures but she didn't call or text so DD was left out of them. I feel like her mother has almost completely casted DD out of her life.
So above any feelings I personally have, I owe it to DD to protect her, like I did when I filed for full custody,how ever I can.
