She still had lots of love to give, even to the last grandchild. I remember sitting with her on the couch, watching her favorite soap opera "All My Children" and eating Rolos, her favorite candy. What a treat - especially eating candy on her couch!! Thank goodness for those towels she had pinned to the cushions!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-52471434673422248732009-02-13T10:39:00.000-08:002009-02-13T10:39:00.000-08:00Dennis Amen to that!!

Her strong sense of love and family connection will never be forgotten. It is this same love and committment that will forever live on in the ones luck enough to be called family. To the ones that never had the priveledge (great-grandchildren)of experiencing Rina, don't worry. You are a living testimony to this love every time you are hugged and kissed. We are all truly blessed! Thanks for the memories Dennis.<BR/>Love, MeachellMoonunithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08472478920950832135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-91850282977130684872009-02-13T06:58:00.000-08:002009-02-13T06:58:00.000-08:00Dennis, what a wonderful story, and this photo is ...Dennis, what a wonderful story, and this photo is stunning, perfect.
