Ron and Gerri, so sorry about the passing of Ron’s mom, she is now with God and at peace, my prayers are with Ron and his family.
She was my Grandma. My fondest memories was her giving me coconut marshmallows, trip to Uncle Claude. The scissors when she thought she was losing her strength, not sure if it was Thanksgiving or Christmas. Everyone was in tears with laughter after we figured out that the clear sleeve was still on the scissors. She always made sure that my toys were there when I visited. She seemed to be a pillar of strength. Wished I knew more about her history as she grew up and kept in touch. I guess I’ll see her when I pass. Always in my heart Gram 💗
So many years have passed, but so many fond memories will always be held close.
