Sorry about your loss Laurie. Especially around this time of year. But I'm glad that you know she's in a better place!
Hey Laurie! Grandma was great wasn't she! I just read your post and of course I am thankful for cousins and I actually accidentally did forget them. I love you. You really are great and I am lucky to have you.
