Tributes
"Sorry to hear of your loss. My memories of Granny Schwager were her awesome Beef Stew that she would make and send with Kyle so we would have something hot to eat at the boathouse and some really good desert. She was so full of life and really enjoyed it. I could never get her to cheer for the right football team though. She was the best. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Marshall Graham "
