Nora was the greatest woman I've ever known...and my grandmother. My life will forever be shaped by hers and I can only hope to be half the person she was. I'm sure God is asking her to make biscuits right now. Granny I love you and will never forget our long talks together. Thank you for being my mentor, my caretaker, my friend.
