Gram, you're at peace now and back holding hands with Grandpa. Your strength and will stayed with you to the very end. Every time I look up to the clouds, I know you and Grandpa will be watching over. I love you, then, now, and forever.

To my family, Gram showed us just how strong of a woman she is especially over the past few weeks. May we all find comfort in knowing that after raising 6 amazing boys she finally has the chance to rest. I love you all.
