We will absolutely try and make the funeral! Granny McDonald was such an inspiration to all! I frequently remember her chasing my mom down to give us goodies after Sunday Mass for whatever holiday was near by. While my own grandma was living out of town, she prayed for us and greeted us like we were her own. So sweet and kind always!
