So many memories of you – pastina, crepes, legos, coffee always at the ready, a never ending yarn supply which resulted in the most beautiful blankets (in record time). You were there for so many milestones- for me, for Ava, and so many others. You are loved & deeply missed.
May you rest in peace & love with John.
