What a wonderful tribute... I don't know who this is but oddly enough I just posted a tribute to my dad on Youtube called "That Big Marquee"... we share the same last name- His name was Neal Myers. (maybe we're distantly related.. was she Portuguese?)...I'm sure your grandma was very special, I'm sorry for your loss... If u care to see my dad's tribute just type in That Big Marquee and click on the video with the 2 guys holding guitars. (I wrote the song )My best, Angie Myers, Erie Pa.
