I am grateful to have had “Grandma Great” as a part of mine and Brittany’s lives. She was an exceptional lady, always caring and kind, and so very witty. We will miss her.
Our sincere sympathies to you and your family.
I will miss the occasional phone calls from Aunt Mary. She was always interested about our family’s lives and she loved nothing better than to talk about her kids, grandkids and great-grandkids! She was so proud of all her family. I know she will be glad to reunite with Uncle Bill. They were both so special and I’m sure missed by everyone who knew them.
