Thommy - I know all too well what a grandmothers love can be. Like you I was very close to my own until she passed. I guess we just have to take solice in knowing that she is with loved ones on the other side and know she will always love you and remain forever in your heart. My most sincere condolences to you and your family at this time.

There are no words that can adequately express what a loving, giving and amazing woman Gabby was, or how much I love her, and you all. My whole life has been spent with her, and your family in it, and I thank God every day I have been blessed in that way.
