Dearest Jackie, Shannon, Ryan and Blair,
Grammie C. was one of a kind...unique in oh so many ways. My children and I loved her very much. One thing I do know without a doubt is she will bring her bright light into Heaven making it all the more brilliant. And oh what a party there will be.
Jackie and Family, I am sad for your loss. She loved you all beyond measure.
You are all in my prayer.
Love .... and comfort,
Kathy
