Andy,
I am so sorry for the loss of your grandmother. I have such fond memories of your grandparants. They loved and were so proud of you. Everytime I would see them that was all they could talk about. May the happy memories of your grandmother not be forgotten and passed on to your girls.

Deb,
My heart goes out to you and your family. Your mom and dad will forever be some of my favorite people, while growing up in the neighborhood. The memories will always be something I cherish in my life. Many days sitting and visiting and also they were always so kind to my mom throughout the years. I can just imagine them all sitting around now and visiting once again with each other! Beautiful heart and beautiful soul and such a wonderful person and she will be missed.
