Not sure what to say?

RIP my sweet Gram...I will say goodbye for now, until we meet again. I'll never forget our bond-you were a wonderful Grandmother to me! Love you

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Our last visit with Collen in May. She was just as spunky as ever!

Colleen was my family's neighbor in Grand Blanc & like a grandma to me when I was young. She shared many of the most important events in my life and even though I didn't see her often, my heart is broken that she's no longer just a phone call or card away...
