Mother, grandmother, confidant, keeper of darkest secrets, co-worker, babysitter, and advisor in all things, shoulder to cry on, best friend and hardest worker you’d ever know. She devoted her whole life to taking care of others. Now you have a new title - guardian angel. Grandma loved all of those around her deeply. She holds a grand legacy that will live on for generations. The world was a better place for Grandma “Fred” being here and she will be missed beyond what words can explain. As grandma would say “I love you, Huunny.”
