Merci Jacques.
agree Conor McAuley : Yes, maybe "mamie" is more informal and thus better in this context. My nephew calls his grandmother "mamie"...

I would certainly prefer any of the above to "grande-mère", which is "grandmother" and thus a slightly more formal register. Thanks Conor.
agree RHELLER : mamie or mémé correspond to grandma (more familiar)
