I love you Grandma… Always have and always will. I’ll never forget your cookies, breads, butterscotch candies, and counting train cars. There is so much of you within my mother that I’ll never have to look far to be reminded of you. Give Grandpa a a large bear hug for me. Love you
Having met Liz through her daughter Carol Gibbs, I can say she was a marvelous woman. She was loving, caring, and honest. I will never forget the times we spent together including a Thanksgiving dinner at our house. Liz, go in peace knowing you were loved and will be missed.
