My Grandma will be greatly missed! She was a beautiful, honest and powerful woman that taught me forgiveness and to never give up. She was so accepting of all people and forgiving of all mistakes…
She is an angel in Heaven. Those gates have been calling for her and now is her time…
I love you! Lots of Hugs & Kisses,
Deidre
