Grandma was such an honest caring individual, loved helping others whenever she could from being a simple act of kindness to preparing meals for family and friends. I will always cherish our memories and the special time spent together. Grandma was always there when needed be, giving me advice that will forever have an impact on my life and the person I have become today.
