Ever since I moved to the area as a teenager, the Schwartz family has welcomed me as one of their own. After my first encounter with Granny, I started to understand how and why this entire family could be so full of love. She was one of the sweetest ladies I have ever had the privilege to be around, and she will be deeply missed. My love and thoughts are with the Family, as they have always given me theirs.
