She was the closet thing that I had to a grandma and I will always remember her as Grandma. Every kid on 97th Place called her Grandma. She always had something special for me and my brother when we were growing up. We just loved visiting over at Grandma's house. She was the kindest most loving woman that I have every met and every kid in Evergreen Park that knew her would agree with me on that. She will be deeply missed.I send my condolences to the Rizzo family and friends.
