My grandma was one in a million. Never did I see her be negative, complain, or be mean heated to anyone. She was a loving grandma, mother, wife and person. I am so much better having had her in my life and being able to have her as a role model my whole life. I miss her already and am blessed to have been able to spend the last few years with her here in Des Moines, Iowa. I love you, grandma!!!
