Cindy, my deepest condolences for you and your family's loss. I met your mom many, many years ago on a trip we made to Michigan and remember that she was such a sweet woman. Didn't recognize the name on the obituary but as soon as I saw her face, I knew who she was. Love and prayers of support for all of you during this difficult time. God bless, Margie

You were the most kind, loving, and passionate Grandma. I'm going to miss your home cooked meals and our little walks to Burlingame Dairy Dip for our signature vanilla cones. My heart aches for your loss but I'm happy you can now be whole again and at peace. I love you!
