“Grambo was the life of the party. Her laugh was contagious, and so was her snort when we would try to touch the mole above her lip. The memories of cold Spaghettio’s in California, eating creamer in all her restaurants, sharing her famous pineapple upside down cake with family, and her after Thanksgiving enchilada's will never be forgotten. She was a giver. She gave everything she had to all of her kids and grandkids. She also spared no expense when trying to help others, even if she didn't know them. From furniture and random donations, to custom bras for cancer survivors, she had a generous heart and soul. But you never wanted to mess with her family! And if you did, be prepared for a punch! That is, after all, how she earned the name Grambo."
