Grandma, I will miss your optimism, your zest for life, our talks on politics and the times we celebrated Tiger Wood's victories. I selfishly wanted you around forever. It won't be the same here on earth without you, but your spirit will live on with us all.

To Margaret, Kathy and the rest of the Kirkness family,

Please accept our deepest sympathy during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
