Grandma you may have passed away but your life and sprit will live on through the memories of the loved ones you left behind. I for one will always remember your crazy personality and how much fun we used to have together. I will always remember your terrible and scary driving, and your firecracker response when us grand kids did something wrong, it still makes me laugh to this day. I appreciate the time and care you took raising me as a child, and I will always be grateful. No matter how tuff things got, life never seemed to get you down, you always found a way to cheer us up. Wherever you are now,I know you are in a much better place. I will be forever grateful that you were my grandmother.
