Your mom and grandma is one of my favorite people. Her sense of humor was the best, I can only imagine how much fun you all had growing up. When I was a little girl, I used to dress up in the peignoir sets (fancy nightgowns and robes) that she had for her trousseau. She was my idol and I wanted to be adventurous like her. I'm grateful that I was able to travel to California and to attend your special life events; to know you and your families. I hope we will continue to gather and share precious memories to keep her love warm in your hearts.
Love,
Rita
