The Igo Family,
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the death of your mother/grandmother. I visited with her often (thru St Michael's church) when she was at the Terrace apartments...and a few times at the Care Center. She was such a gracious and lovely lady; I enjoyed her stories about the St Patrick's Day parade and lunch at the Lexington. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I wish I could have spend more time with Grams growing up, but even thousands of miles away I've always felt close to her. Probably because she and Dad had such a special relationship. We always knew how she was doing via the HOURS she and Dad spent on the phone together (Dad could even put the phone down for a few minutes in mid-conversation, and Grams wouldn't even know it because she would still be talking!) We know that Grams felt all of the love and support from friends and family surrounding her these last couple of months so she must have been at peace when she left, and she will definitely live on through all of the stories and memories our families will share about her. Love you Grams!
