I have never met a stronger, more fearless woman than Grandma-next-door. She chopped snakes up for me, chased squirrels out of our house, but if you dared talk about blood in her presence she would grab the broom and come after you. I wish I could have just one more day with her, to learn her stories, give her a big hug, and let her know how amazing she was. I love you Grandma, and can't wait until I can have coffee with you and Grandpa again.

"GRANDMA NEXT DOOR"'you and Grandpa gave us many cherished memories we will hold deep in our hearts until we see you again. Jordan loved playing his violin for you and knew how much you loved it. Nichole loved doing puzzles and having a "coffee break" with you. We will keep making your Garyman specials and think of you fondly. Garys life would have never been the same without you, he will always have an empty hole in his heart which only you could fill. Have a wonderful reunion Grandma and tell Grandpa he can drive you around the mansions because you have one of your own now! We will see you soon dear Grandma, love you forever.
