Hi Jim,
Sounds like you had a great mom all of your life and I know you´ll miss her presence here on Earth. You KNOW where she is, living the Eternal Life. I´ll keep you and Anne in my thoughts and prayers as you walk through this time.
With love,
As always,

Grandma was truly the definition of a joyful person. One of, if not THE most, loving, caring and understanding people you´d ever meet. God and the Church was her guide. She lived her life with open arms. I remember plenty of times watching her interact with complete strangers. The look on their faces and body language was always so surprised, intrigued and sweet. You could tell after that moment they would always remember her. She spread joy, love and patience wherever she went. I love her and grandpa Bob with all my heart. True examples on how to live a good life. They were the best.
