Grandma (Bess) was one of the most wonderful people I've had the chance to know. I knew nothing but love from her. For more than half of my life, she was the only grandparent I had. I'm immensely lucky to have had nearly 34 years of time with her. She was a wonderful wife to my grandfather, Raymond. A fantastic mom to my mom (Joan) and her brother and sister (Mariann and Robert). She was deeply deeply loved by her grandchildren (Kimberly, Katie and I). And she recently joyously became a great grandmother to Penny. She will be deeply, deeply missed by the Dombrowskis, Pleckis, and Landons. I know, I for one, will carry her in my heart forever. She was the first number in my phone and the first person I called to share good news. I miss her so much already. I love you, Gram.
