Grandma will be remembered for her kindness, her gentle heart, and her unconditional love. She went out of her way to do as many special things as she could for all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. From special camping trips, to playing games and reading stories, to baking cookies and having sleepovers-she provided the most precious memories to each of us. We will carry those memories with us forever, and we will always be grateful for all the happy times we had together.
