Lois, George, Debbie, Linda and family, What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why Granny left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that Granny died, but that she lived. And that her life gave us memories to beautiful to forget. Our hearts go out to you and your family at this difficult time.
