I truly feel so blessed to be able to call this incredible woman Grandma. So many amazing and cherished memories with her...my first ever peanut butter and butter sandwich, picking fresh green beans in her garden (although I didn't like to eat them) and catching fireflies in the backyard. My heart aches to have lost her but I know that she is happy in heaven with Papa, Uncle Mike and Ann. She lived a long and amazing life and for that I am grateful. Although I cannot be at the service in person I am there in spirit and sending all of my love to my family. I love you Grandma!

I have great memories of going to the country club and swimming in the pool, picking vegetables in the yard and chasing lightening bugs. I love you, may you rest well with papa.
