Joe, Val and Laurie, I am so sorry for your loss. She was a remarkable person. I have known her most of my life and she was always there for me. She was like a mom to me. Vince was so lucky to have a grandma that loved him so much and would also do anything for him. I am so happy that mom and dad and myself got to see her while they were visiting. We talked of old times laughed and had a wonderful few hours together. I wish at the time I would have known it would have been the last time. She never judged and was always had a calmness about her. She will be sadly missed but never, never forgotten.
