Sending my condolences, she was a great woman, I remember she had opened her home to me for the short time when I needed it. She made me feel at home and comfortable and with family when I needed it

To the whole fire stone family I’m sending my thoughts and prayers your way and I know granny for a long time when Heather and And Danielle used to come over Grammy‘s house and play I will never forget those times and when Heather came down, granny stepped on dressed up and she stuck her head in granny‘s staircase, so I may not talk to her for a long time. Shame on me, but she knew why, but she still remained in my heart, my husband‘s heart and also kids, heart granny may you rest in peace. You have nothing to worry about your grandchildren are in great hands with their parents and they will miss you and they love you. We love your granny.
