Grammy was one of a kind. She was a feisty lady, which she definately passed on to her granddaughters, and hada giggle that was infectious. Her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren adored her and will miss her greatly. We will all miss the franks and beans on Saturday nights and the singing birthday voicemails. God has his hands full with my grandmother as she spent so much of her life in church, I think she may know more than he does about the Catholic church!
We will miss you Grammy, every single day! I love you and will think of you often. Please rest in peace and give Papa a great big hug and a kiss from all of us!

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. I can imagine how much you all will miss her. Memories: I remember how we used to laugh at her crossing out all the racy words and sentences from her book collection. Also, as kids, we used to love to watch her wash her kitchen floor 5 times a day. I was always particularly amazed at how receptive she was to having sometimes 10-20 kids running around her backyard at once. What stamina! Most of all, I remember a very friendly, open and caring woman.
