Words cant describe how wonderful of a woman she was. She was the story book version of a grandma, the love we all have for her is unending and surpassed only by the love she had for all of us grand kids and great grand kids. She kept tabs on all of us no matter how far from home we were. She served as a model for us all and she will be so dearly missed.
