The memories that we have of our Grandma will hold a special place in our hearts forever. It will be all of the good memories that will give all of us the strength to go forward. We were very lucky to have her part of our lives for so many years. Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were what gave her the strength to live for so many years and for that we are forever grateful. We will miss you dearly Grandma and we know you are at peace in heaven with the angels looking down upon us. We love you, Jackie, Steve, Meagan & Ethan
