I'm so sorry for your loss Clare. What a blessing to have had her in your life for so long and for her to meet your own children. My own grandmother (the only grandparent I ever had) passed away shortly after my 1st wedding.

I'm so sorry for your loss, and the timing of it. But glad you were able to be there for the wake and funeral ceremonies. Your grandmother seems like she was an amazing person, and I love the story you told to illustrate that.
