Tina Kalar and family - so sorry for your loss. May you keep a special place in your heart for grandma Margaret, who was always ornery and full of wit. I will always remember visiting her on our lunch breaks when working together. She was a tiny pady like Tina, but you can never under estimate either of them! :-) May she rest in peace. She will be missed. My sympathies to you all.
