She let lots of us into her heart....She was always good and kind and she let me in as well. She always made me feel like a special part of her life, even if years went by between visits. All of you were Blessed to have such a giving, caring and selfless woman. She's an Angel watching over all of you....her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will never be forgotten. She was so loved

    In the very brief time that I had to meet her personally, it was instantly clear that the honest and brave character Mrs. Gramazio exhibited upon her surface was, in fact, material of her core. My children and I are privileged for the opportunity to meet her in person and are more blessed by the character, life lessons, and compassion that she has passed along to Angela. When Angela speaks of the impact that Grandma Gramazio had upon her, it is with great reverence and more than a few wry smiles. For all of who she was, what she embodied, and what she has passed along, I thank her and may God bless her.
