Even though our time with her was short, Taizja and I will never forget how kind she was. I did the cleaning while Taizja entertained Grandma and also played with her cats. It was definately a great pleasure to have known Grandma Maye. We will miss her very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
