We love you Grandmom. Thank you for so many wonderful memories and for always opening up your heart and home. As a child, I loved staying with you and Grandpop. We all always had so much fun and you guys made me feel so loved. As an adult, you were my favorire dance partner 🙂 You were so gentle, kind and sweet. I honestly don’t know a single person who didn’t immediately love you. You were an angel on Earth and now you’re one in Heaven. Words can’t express how much you will be missed by all of us who knew and loved you. We were all very blessed to have you. You’ll always be in our hearts and memories. I love you, always. xoxox
