Tammy’s dear mother, Grace, passed away on March 20, the first day of Spring, in her 85th year.  Grace had lived with us in Southern California for more than 10 years before moving up to Washington state a few years ago to be closer to Tammy’s sister, Linda and her family.  Since my “Mum” died way back in 1980, “Granny,” as Grace was affectionately known, was like a mother to me as well these past few decades, and dearly loved by our daughters, Heidi and Lisa.  We held a “Celebration of Life” at our home a few weeks ago, connected by Face Time with family and friends in Washington and Texas.  In addition to sharing fond memories of Grace, we also sang some of her favorite songs.
