From sitting with her at Daniel's Field watching Johnny run for a touchdown, to Joey catching a touchdown, to sitting with her in Memorial Stadium watching OU and little Randy, to sitting with her in Uncle Mike's backyard, she was always a sweetheart and loved everyone. I would love when she would say to me, "You're such a sweetie"; words really can't describe how nice your grandmother was. To the entire Garibay/Stagnaro family, I pray that comfort and love come to each of you during this time through a celebration of Grandma Joe's life.
