Our Grandma was the best kind of grandma there is! Always had cookies, spoiled me and my brother and sister whenever we were at her house (pancakes every Saturday morning) was at every birthday party or holiday gathering. In fact some of my favorite memories growing up was family gatherings at Grandma and Grandpa. And the summer beach trips!! We are so lucky to have those memories. I am proud to follow in my Grandmas footsteps and carry on traditions that will always remind me of her. Whether it be canning applesauce or gracefully saying "aarrr" when taking that first cold sip of beer. I will miss my Grandma very much but I know I will see her again one day. Love you Grandma ?

I miss you so much Grandma. So many memories from playing in your back yard growing up, all the years at the beach, to just having the most loving grandma I could ask for! I love you Grannie!! ~Jill
