Comment: What a touching story Uncle Sean, I had not heard you tell that story before, you tell it beautifully. I cried from begining to end, but what great memories I have of Granny. Living with us when we were children, the fun side of her dancing and singing as you mentioned. She was so full of life and anyone who loved her appreciated that. I appreciate all you and your family did for her.
Love you all and miss you to.....Love Lorraine & family
