Grandma Aiko was an amazing woman, and we were so fortunate to spend a lot of time with her in the years since we moved back from college. Though in her late 70's, she let nothing slow her down. She was always on-the-go, seeing movies, golfing with friends, going to dinner, exercising and traveling the world.
When Allen and I got engaged, we had a family dinner in Santa Cruz and it was the first time that Grandma Aiko and my nana had the opportunity to meet. We sat them together and they hit it off like old friends--even sharing a dessert after our meal. Grandma Aiko used to call my Nana to check in on her and we also had the pleasure of having her for a few of our annual family Chrismas Eve Celebrations with the Mello side of the family.
Allen's parents did a wonderful job taking care of Grandma Aiko over the past months and we know that she loved having them with her. We are so happy that Grandma Aiko and Samantha had the opportunity to meet one another and Allen and I will share our fond memories with Samantha in the years to come.
