Grandma Chilton was a great lady, a lot of spunk in a little package. I remember Linda bringing me up to Grandma's house several times through the years and walking around with Grandma looking at her flowers and plants. I know because of her faith, she is in a better place and not in pain anymore. My prayers are with the whole family.
