Re: My Awesome Grandma
Thank you all. We won't be making the funeral since it is so far away. My immediate family and some of my extended family will be attending Mass in my grandmother's honor this weekend. My Mom felt that would be an excellent tribute and way to honor her and celebrate her life.

Re: My Awesome Grandma
Sorry for your loss ILG. One thing you haven't lost is the good memories your grandma left for you. What a treasure! Your family photo is so rare that I saved it to my own photo album to remind myself every now and then how important family is and our own personal heritage. Thanks for posting and including us in this memory about your grandmother!

Thanks, PO. It is more or less my choice. I visited her in 2010 while she was alive. I hope to pay my respects on the island at a later date.

Re: My Awesome Grandma
You know something else about those 14 children? Not ONE of them got divorced. ALL married young and stayed married to the first person they married still or until death. (2 spouses have passed). There was one spouse that had been previously married. That's it. Most of the grandchildren are the same but there are a few divorces amongst us.
