She will be missed. We ALL loved her dearly, she was force to be reckoned with. She did things her way and taught us all how to be strong independent people. Alzheimers stole her away from us 7 years ago however we still hold dear all the lessons she has taught us over a lifetime. RIP Grandma we love you so very much!
