Grandma Pat…what a lady. Whenever she came in our store she knew every customer’s background that was in the store before they left. I’m sure heaven will never be the same now that she is chatting with everyone she knows. May she be healthy now as she hugs her family, freinds and meets new friends.
We will always remember that yellow roses were her favorite flower.
