Happy birthday Grandma!! We miss you very much we think about you every day. As you know your Great Granddaughter Ayrabellla Rayn took her first steps the day before your b-day . She is the happiest baby, You had told me " Pet, your son is now in heaven with PopPop, but that beautiful Deanna of yours needs her baby just do as I say" that's the best advice anyone could have given us then and I thank you for being you that great beautiful lady with tic tacs and peppermints clicking in her purse and the one with her flashlight flashing out the second story window in the summer gathering all us grandchildren for bed, just to offer us a cup of tea an a chocolate Entenmann's donuts. Oh and a few games of Gin, you know as well as I, 5am would be upon us and we would be in tears laughing as we watched the sunrise at Masnisquian inlet ( your inlet) we all miss and love you very much... Scott,Deanna,Kaitlynn,and Ayrabella
