We laughed, shared and we joked together. You are and will always be mother, grandmother and great grand mother. And to me you are always someone i really had the pleasure of meeting. Thank you for being part of my life and the Monfils familia. My heart and love comes with Trevor. And to all the familia i am so sorry. Lose is celebrated through our memories. Be well as best as we can be.
