Thank you for visiting the guest book of my beloved grandma. She was the most fun and special grandma. She was very much loved and will be missed terribly.

Grandma - I miss you so much, but I'm so glad that you're not hurting anymore. You were such a huge part of our lives, and I'm eternally grateful that I had you in my life for as long as I did. Shawn says every day that he misses great-grandma. Thanks so much for being such a wonderful influence in our lives - you were one heck of a lady. Very fun, crazy, giggly, adventurous, smart, and SO before-your-time. We were all so proud of you, and believe me, we'll be telling people stories about you forever. We all miss you so much, Grandma! (See you in Heaven!!!)
