    Cora, thank you for sharing your wonderful Grandma with Willow. Some of her most cherished childhood memories are adventures the three of you would have together (Kempenfest every year is high on the list!). And more sleepovers than she can count. Such a warm and lovely lady will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
