Charlotte was my grandma. She was mother to my mom, Julie. Although she wasn’t her biological mom, she cared for her since she was an infant. They had a wonderful and close relationship.
Grandma May was a beautiful person inside and out. I loved her fun loving, gentle way. I have many fond memories of celebrating countless holidays, visiting her in Dashwood or at Jim’s farm. I feel so fortunate to have had her in my life. It is hard to say good bye. I will hold her memory near. Love you Grandma May
