  Grandma put in 93 years of leading by example.  She taught us how to be stong, and how to persevere in even the worst circumstances.  
  It is our responsibility to apply the lessons she taught us, support each other, and make her proud.  
  We take comfort in knowing that Grandma feels no more pain, and is re-united with some of her beloved family in Heaven.  We love you, and will miss you Grandma.
