I will always treasure my memories of living next door to Gram, the shopping sprees, and favorite game shows. The angels are enjoying some good cookin' now!



To the Macuga family, you have my deepest sympathy for your great loss.



Love, Mary

I enjoyed every moment I spent with you, Gram. You had so much spirit, spunk, and smiles.

You were a Grandma to everyone, and you will be greatly missed.

I wish I could hear one more laugh and see one more smile, but I know you are in a better place.

I hope you are playing cards in Heaven with everyone.

Pins and Needles.

I love you.......Debbie
