Oh Tina, your grandmother looked so cute in the picture in the paper! I know she was a big influence in your life, and you are really going to miss her. So now the staff has been passed on to you to carry on her traditions, the things that really mattered to her, and I know you will, you are such a capable young woman. Our prayers are with you for the Lord to comfort and guide you, Rick & C.Ann Anderson
