I have known Little Grandma for over 20 years as I married into this family. She didnt miss anything that she was invited to. I have so many photos of her at communions, halloween parties, Xmas, Thanksgiving, birthdays and graduations. She knew the true meaning of family and was the rock that held us all together. She will be missed by all of us but welcomed into heaven by her husband, Auntie Eileen, and my parents and brother. It was her time and we have to let her go.

I feel blessed to have known Van, if only briefly, through Bob & Kathy. What an inspiration, what a life. To live to be 98 with clarity of thought and heart...she has set the bar for us all.

What a Life! Loved many and loved by many. Van was so kind, and active throughout her entire life. I am grateful for the family she has created.
