Grandma Mallie, was a beautiful, kind, loving person. We would talk for hours on the phone just laughing and having a good time. We always felt like we were having a slumber party, but over the phone.... I will cherish all of our conversations and memories that we shared together. I love you. .... Your granddaughter, Angela.......
