Patti, Dennis, Becky, Tiffany, Jimmy and Sam.
I know that I only met and seen Grandma a few times.
But she was a beautiful and lovely LADY. I enjoyed listening and talking with her when we came down to see you.
She left an impression on me. I fell in love with her the.first time I met her.
But now she is in Heaven with God, and dancing with her husband.
But she is now a loving Angel nd will always be watching over you all. ??

I am so sorry about your Mom and Grandmother! She was a great person and a fantastic teacher at Signal Hill. We were all blessed to have her in our educational system!
Remember all the great memories you have?
