Whenever I came to visit the family, she would hold out both hands and smile her brilliant smile. Loved to see her, even though neither of us knew the other's words. For Hello or Goodbye, I said to her, "Grandmother" which I hope she took as respect and affection. My condolences to all her family and friends.
Love, Linda (Hengstler) Ratliff (Elaine Prassinos Hengstler's mother-in-law)
