Nov.19th Our wedding day. My Grandma was dancing so beautifully with my Grandpa, they looked like two young teens on the dance floor. Dec.24th Maria and I told my Grandma the news that she was going to be a Great-grandma. I wish she could have met her Great-grandchildren, but God had other plans for my Grandma. God knew that our children needed an angel to look over them and who better than their Great-grandma. Maria and I miss you very much grandma. Watch over all of us, your forever in our hearts.

My grandmother was one of a kind who taught me many things. I know she will be missed by many. I know the only thing that made her feel better and young again,was her puppy "BOOTS" If you could see them play together it would bring a tear to your eye. I will miss you very much Gramma and you will always be in my heart. Love always J.R. and your soon to be born, great grandkids.
