Eric, I will always remember your grandmother for welcoming us into her home during our teenage days. I still drive by the house on Manning Ave and have fond memories. May your grandmother Rest In Peace and May her memory be eternal. May memories help you heal during this difficult time. I'm so very sorry for your loss.
