My dearest friend from chit chats, coffee & pastries, picnics, strawberry cream cake, and drives around town these are the times I remember. You were a grandma to me with your pretty smile, softest hair, and great old time memories to share. Always be with me.

I knew the Ballantine family growing up in Santa Rosa and attending the Presbyterian Church of the Roses. Attended Youth Group and Montgomery High School with Lynn and Garrick. Mrs. Ballantine was always such a gracious lady; always very kind to all and a true example of living the Christian faith. I know she will be greatly missed by her family and friends. I send my hearfelt sympathy to her family.
