Drammy (yes, when I was very young I had trouble pronouncing my G's, so that in turn gave birth to what I would always call her for most of my life) had such a great attitude and sense of humor about life and was never shy about speaking her mind. I admired her so much for it. I'm forever grateful for the moments and conversations we had together. I will always cherish those so many memories I have of her.

I miss you and love you, Drammy. You were truly one of a kind.

I'll miss her tremendously, and a part of her will always be here in all of us. She will live on in our hearts and through the joyous memories of our time together with her. She will always be my Grammy.

I love you Grammy.

Val and I shared a love of books. We traded and had many conversations about them at the camp ground. She had such a great sense of humor and a heart that was open to everyone. I will miss having a cold one with her and the occasional breakfast at Paul's trailer. You are missed dearly Val❤

I knew Val from Mohawk Park. She was always friendly, welcoming, and kind. I always hoped I would see her when I visited the park and, when I did, I generally would take the time to sit and visit with her when getting back from a ride. She was a kind and lovely woman with a good sense of humor. She struck me as knowing what was important in life. Rest In Peace, Val.
