I love you so much GramCracker. Thank you for being the most caring and loving Grandma ever! I'll never forget up north memories... sitting with ALL the family around the bon fire singing songs and eating smores, sitting on the swing overlooking the lake, all the amazing meals you cooked, all the sacrifices you've made for your family and all the love you had to give. Another memory ill never forget is all the cards we played, hand and foot! You'll be missed Grammy, but I'm sure you're with grandpa and the Lord, and we'll meet again. I love you Grandma, thank you for being my Grammie!
