Grandma was a manager at General Monitors in Costa Mesa. Her and her husband left their jobs their and purchased Wood's Market of Upland, CA from her cousin Helen and her husband. They had many good years there. Family came now and then to work with them. Mostly my Aunt Sherri would manage for them when they where not there. I was able to work when I came for visits. Some happy memories there. One day they were held up and Papa saved Grandma's life as Grandma was taken by gun point. Papa gave one warning to the man, the man wouldn't let grandma go, so he shot him and grandma ran. Papa saved Grandma's life that day. They went on to sell their little store as it didn't make sense for them to continue on with it. They moved back to Costa Mesa, Papa went to work for FHP and grandma opened an in home daycare. This provided for them.
May Grandma rest in peace now. She passed away on her oldest grandchild's birthday. Also we had to put down her grandpuppy (Furgie)also on the 14th, who she was very fond of.

Gravesite Details
No one will tell me where her ashes are located.
Update: per Jim's cousin, her ashes were scattered at sea. I know Gma DID NOT want this. She hates the ocean. God forgive those who did this to her.
