I love you grandma. I’ll miss you so much, but I’m so happy you get to be with grandpa again. Take care of each other and I’ll see you again someday.
Betsy and I considered Sonia and Ed dear friends and wonderful neighbors. We enjoyed dinner with the European friends on many occasions!
Blessings to both in Heaven!!!
