My Grandmother is the most caring, loving and giving person I've ever known. I'm so proud that I was able to have her in my life as long as I was. Thank you, Grandma! P.S. I'm sure there will be a lot of cold water available in heaven. When Grandma was asking for water, she asked my Aunt Sharon to get her cold water. When my aunt did, Grandma complained that it wasn't cold. Then, she said, "you call everyone and make sure they know that I want ONLY COLD WATER." My Aunt and I couldn't help but laugh and she yelled at us. LOL
