Not sure what to say?

Mems,
Thank you for being the best grandmother imaginable. As much as I am really sad that you are gone, I am relieved to know that you and Pops can be together again.

You were a really special woman. There was always a certain easiness with which you led our family. I didnt know this when I was little, but I later came to learn that a lot had been asked of you at a really young age. You were tough from helping raise your 10 siblings in an old school New England...

Mems & Bailey

My grandmother is such a beautiful soul. She meant the world to me and will always be remembered for her undying devotion to family. I think what I will cherish most, is how a room would light up every time she walked in. She brought out the best side in myself and many others. She is so loved and missed. I remember growing up and going to visit her and pops up in Maine. Wed spend summers together watching the tug boats go by in the bay or go swimming at my parents house. We took so many...

Mems, Christmas 2012

Mems is the only grandmother I've ever known and she couldn't have been a more tremendous influence in my life. I cherish every moment I spent with her. I know I drove her crazy sometimes but she never missed a chance to shower me with love and affection. She was compassionate, funny, and so caring and everything she did was for her family. I, along with my brother and my cousins, are truly blessed to have called her Mems.

I recall countless hours spent at the Children's Museum....
