Although I did not mention everyone Mita was everyone’s grandma she adopted all the kids and they all called her “Mita” kids gravitated towards her or should we say everyone gravitated towards her. She was a kid at heart and will be missed tremendously. She gave unconditional love to all and was the realest person.  Honesty was what she lived by and there is and will never be no one like her in the world.  She touched everyone she met and when she wasn’t around it was felt. She loved to garden and had a green thumb.  She loved to feed the birds and had lots of bird feeders in her yard.
