Dearest Grandma,
What a wonderful and full life you lived. I'm blessed to have gotten to spend 41 years of my life with you and to bless you with three great grandchildren who each love you so much. We miss you dearly but are comforted knowing that you are in heaven and back together with Grandpa Horsley.
Love your granddaughter,
Heidi

So sorry to hear about Marie. She was such a great friend to my mother, Grace Riccobene, when they worked together at Temple Beth Pre-School. Prayers to the family.
