I felt very lucky to have an extra grandmother in my life called gramma Duke. Her granddaughter Jennifer is my best friend and growing up we spent a lot of time together. Gramma Duke was always so welcoming and kind to everyone she encountered. We will miss her until the day we can meet again . Fly High Gram we Love you.
