Gram, You were the most wonderful woman I have ever known and I am so proud to be your granddaughter. Thank you for sharing your life, your love and your endless stories with me. It's so hard to say goodbye, yet I take comfort knowing you are home with Papa in heaven. I will always love you and carry your memories in my heart forever.

Gram:

You have touched and influenced so many lives. We will forever miss your gentleness and your laughter, and of course, your cooking. No one can replicate Gram's meatballs! You always found time to be at every significant life event for anyone in your family. All of our lives are richer because of you. Love and miss you, Gram. Laura
