As I remember the many things Granny did to enrich the lives of those she loved, I shall always treasure how she taught me how to cook and care for animals. She gave her grandchildren the belief they were special, unique and loved. Granny, you will be missed and cherished through many generations. Sincerest sympathy to all who loved her.
