To a wonderful grandma, You made us proud, not many grandkids can tell the tales of their Grandma's jumping of yaughts in the Greek Isles or parasailing in their 80's. You have always been there for us with unwavering love and support. You have taken the time to visit us no matter where we lived and were there to watch our achievements through life. Love you so much and I will miss our visits to Butchart Gardens and swims in the lake. Your Granddaughter Karen - Posted by: Karen Connors (Family) on: Jun 04, 2006
