I am very saddened to hear of the loss of one of the most wonderful women I had the pleasure to meet. Although she was not the natural grandmother to my children, they feel so blessed to have had her in their lives. She was of the sweetest nature and kindest soul and I know she brought much joy , happiness and memories to all she touched. You are in my prayers and please let me know of anything I may do to help you.
