We love you Grandma!

Grandma, we are so glad that you were able to go to be with Grandpa once again, and that you are no longer struggling to catch your breath! Know that you will be missed everyday, but I will think of you each and every time that I gaze into Mason's blue eyes! You were an inspiration to all of us and I hope to live half the life that you did! I love you- xoxox!

She was deeply involved with our family and also enjoyed golf, bowling and bridge, in later life bingo.
