Dear Shayna…..so sorry to know of your Grandmother’s passing….we go way back to when she was a teenager and I was twelve years old. We were always happy to see each other so many years after that. Will write to you via the post box at the Moodus post office. Sending my sincere sympathy to you and the rest of the family. Ruth
