I was very young when I met Grandma, Matt didn't tell me not to call during dailing for dollars, boy did I learn fast not to. Grandma Toal was a very Strong, kind, crafty woman she may have been small but she had a beautifully big personality & I'm so blessed to have had her as a Grandma in law, thank you for blessing me with your love Grandma you were a blessing to us all
