I think of you often. I remember all the good laughs we shared on so many occasions. You were such an intelligent woman who only wanted the best for your children and grandchildren. You were such a loving grandmother for Dakota. I remember how proud you were with his great work in school. I'm glad I you were in my life and knew my children. I love and miss you so much. - Posted by: natalie (niece) on: May 05, 2014
