As one of Grandma's 23 grandchildren I am sorry that she has passed but grateful for her long and very blessed life. Likewise, I'm grateful for the life she passed on to her five children and to all of her grandchildren. She was a wonderful and graceful lady who lived beautifully, always with others in mind. Thanks grandma. We love you.
