An amazing woman. She welcomed me with open arms when Amy and I started dating. I saw and felt the love she had for her family, and how much you all had for her. Having never been part of something like that, it was truly a sight to behold as we would all gather for holidays at Grandmas (and then Nana’s, as my boys would come to call her). She would take the time to have a chat with everyone, including me, this stranger who was now becoming part of her family, and that’s how I truly felt, that I was part of her family
I remember how she would comment how she liked that I was washing the dishes, and changing the diapers like it was the most amazing thing in the world—she appreciated me, and I couldn’t help but smile, I got Grandma’s seal of approval!
And then later, after COVID, we went for a visit, me, Amy, and the boys. We brought her a London Fog, and she liked it! And she saw my beard, which I had grown for the first time, she smiled, touched it and said, “Very Handsome”. I smiled—I got Grandma’s seal of approval again!!
In short, I’m better for having known her. The world is a better place for the wonderful family she created, and a sadder place in her absence.
She will be missed
