"I'm Nancy's oldest granddaughter- I was banned from visiting my Grandma by her daughter (my mother) Julie in 2014. I had no idea she passed, and I tried so hard to visit her. Obviously I knew nothing about her funeral so- Rest in Peace Grandma. I'm sorry I couldn't be there and visit you"
In loving memory of
