Paula,
You were an amazing Grandma to Ashley, I couldn't have asked for anyone better. I always knew I could count on you for help or anything I needed with Ashley. It was fun sharing all Ashley's firsts with you and you being such a big part of her life. I have so many good memories from Catholic football games with trash bag looking clothes on you insisted we wear to the baby shower and little grad party you threw for me. I will never forget all that you did for me and especially for Ashley.##imported-begin##Angela Bertapelle##imported-end##
