My grandmother was a wonderful woman who spent much of her time doing what she liked best, which was spending time with her grandchildren at Winnipeg Beach. We all felt her love and she kept us warm with the sweaters and blankets she would knit for us. Nan liked country music and watching Benny Hill with my mom. Nan had worked for a small café called Gillams for many years, and she cooked many meals for her returning customers. She had a big heart and loved her family. She is missed and I only hope I can be as good a gramma as she was to me. Love you Nanny, RIP. - Posted by: Kim (Grandaughter) on: Mar 03, 2015
