My grandmother was a fighter who lived a good, long life of love and support for her family. She was devoted to her family and very giving. Having lost her husband nearly 40 years ago, she gallantly moved on, living her life to the fullest. In the end, PopPop came get her and take her to Heaven with him as they work to serve the Lord. God bless the Stanfields and Smetankas in NY and the Sutliffs in PA. May God stand by us all.
