January 13, 2021 at 1:54 amAmy, I’m so sorry to hear this. We often have a special bond with our grandmas – I know I did – and it’s tough when they are gone. And my dad worked at M&M Mars for a while back in the 60s – I wonder if they knew each other! My love and thoughts to you and your family. May your memories be a blessing.
