Others also sent messages of encouragement to the grandson. One person wrote: “This is so special! My sister-in-law died in May 2022. She was obsessed with and collected M&M’s. I hope she and your grandmother reunited in heaven.” “Wow!” exclaimed another. Her casket is amazing!!! My heartfelt condolences to you, your family, and all of her loved ones.”
