4. I will add my grandmother to the list of tributes

She was a great woman, lived through the Depression. I always remember her in dresses, never pants. The red in my hair comes from her. Though I only knew her for 10 years of my life, she is the grandparent I miss the most.

6. My sincere condolences on the loss of your beautiful grandmother.

:hug:
