Grandma, You will always have a special place in my heart and mind. I wouldn't take anything for all the summers I spent with you. All the while we were picking berries, making dried apples, fishing, working in the garden or just sitting on the swing You were teaching me the important things of life. How to love, carefore, and most of all to forgive. The way you taught me, was by living your life that way. You were a living testimony of a Chist like life. Love You
