You've already received some good answers, Shannon, so I'll just toss in that the theoretical average sharing for a grand aunt would be 12.5%, which is genetically equivalent to a 1st cousin and a great-grandparent. If there's no recent pedigree collapse, that number won't be highly variable, but it's still just a baseline. Depending upon which testing/reporting service is being consulted, in centiMorgans that will display in a range from 846cM to 897cM (the range has to do with what the site uses as the total, sex-averaged cM value of a genome; goes from 6,768cM to 7,175cM).
Thank you very much to all the people that commented.  It was much appreciated.

And some great information
