I won't forget the memories that we made with grandma while we were growing up. Scrabble, painting, Uno, Yahtzee and swimming in her pool are among my favorite memories. Her greatest gift, without a doubt, has to be her son (my dad). We know that our family has a gained another guardian angel. Rest in peace, Grandma.
