I don't normally do memorials of the (relatively) recent deceased but your grandmother's had caught my eye several times and just a little research revealed a very interesting life. I am out of the country at the moment (hence the late response) but there are a couple of things I would quite like to ask you. I'll email you when I get back at the end of the month if that is OK? Thanks again for contacting.

Visabuela is indeed bisabuela, but is how the great granddaughter said it, and Grandmoo is what we called her. Nice pic of the stone, thanks, had been a bit before to clean it!
