God blessed you with her perky presence for an amazing amount of time on this earth. Every time you see a lady speaking her mind about a situation she feels is wrong,soothing someone who is sad and you smile at a memory it brings to mind you will know she is there beside you. Never farther away than a prayer. God bless you all.
Pam
My sincerest condolences to your loss.
Grandma was the only woman I ever met, to whom, Mam was an offensive name to be called.
She was such a delightful and forceful “little old lady”.
I’ll never forget her.
