Beverly, I am sorry to hear of your grandmother's passing even at age 100. We are never ready to let them go regardless of age. I have fond memories of spending several weekends with you and your Mom when you lived in the house behind your grandparents. Your grandparents were always kind and welcoming when I was there. Thanks for the memories and your friendship as we grew up. Judy
