Our grandmother was a wonderfully warm, caring person whom will be missed by all. My family and I have many fond memories of times spent with her in Norfolk, Blacksburg and Ohio. Perhaps a more recent and very funny memory is trying to get her (at age 83) into a bathing suit at Chesapeake Bay Beach so she could stroll and play in the waves with us.
She was a lovely woman. It is comforting to know that she is at peace now and with her loved ones that have passed before.
