Today heaven has gained another angel, my wonderful grandmother Marilyn! They say a picture is worth a thousand words so I thought this one would be fitting. Always the happiest when she was with her family and the best mother, daughter, wife, grandmother/great-grandmother any family could ask for! We will miss you until we meet again.
