Grandma, you will be truly missed by us all, but we are cheering for your reunion in Paradise with Grandpa and all of the many who, by living to 101, you happened to outlast here on Earth. We will forever love you and will cherish the memories we made with you!

Love,

Justin, Amanda, Caitlin & Will
