Tom, Margie and Family: I am so sorry to read that your Mom/Grandmother has died. You had many years to be with her and she was able to enjoy her family. I love the fact that she was a Dancing Grandma. That's terrific. Now she's Dancing with her Lord and Savior in Heaven! May God continue to bless all of you during this difficult time. It's hard to lose a parent!!!
