“We could not imagine another 95 year old with a love for life like Grandma had, a genuine smile that lit up the room, a wit about her that made you laugh and a generous heart of gold who could still enjoy a drink with her Grandchildren.
Grandma was not just our Grandma, she was everyone’s Grandma and she wore that title very proud. She will be so missed and was loved by so many. We have all been blessed to share life with her for so long. Please have a drink and cheers in her honor.”
