This is a tough time for my entire family. My greatest memories as a child and as an adult were given to me by two very special Grandparents. Summers at the beach and Christmases in East Long Meadow and everything in between. Grandma you were a wonderful caring person. I will miss you tremendously. I love you and please tell grandpa I love him too. You are no longer in pain. RIP Gram, and one day we will all reunite. I know you both are together again and watching over all of us.

Christmas eves in east long meadow and summers at Miami beach are some of my best memories growing up. She was strong woman who stood tall with a great sense of humor. I'm sure she's in a better place with grandpa.
