I still remember the first time I met you and we were having dinner at Bobbi's. Over the years I got to know what an amazing accomplished woman you were. We had some of the best laughs over the dinners we shared and the stories you told about your life. The last few years I feel we really got to know each other. We had wonderful conversations about the man we both love so much. Being a part of your family and getting to know Rita, Jim, Marianne and Jimmy has brought me so much joy. I thank you for the love you brought into my life. I will treasure the time we shared together. Thank you for loving Danny. He is amazing man. I love you Grammy. May you Rest In Peace now❤
