When I heard of Great Grandma's passing I was truly saddened. I loved her so much. I remember when I was little, how much we looked forward to driving up to see her. I have missed her so much since I've moved away from NY. I talk of her often to my girls. I will never forget her. My thoughts and prayers are with Eddie, Ruth, and the rest of the family. God Bless you.

Our sympathies and thoughts are with you,Ed,Ruth, and also all the grandchildren and great grandchildren that she loved so much.
