1. ““1. In general, the visitation and companionship of a child’s grandparents are in a child’s best interests. “2. If the father or mother of an unmarried minor child is deceased, E. C. 3109.11 vests in the relatives of the deceased person reasonable companionship and visitation rights to the minor child during the minority and vests in the minor child the right to the' companionship and visitation of its relatives. “3. The companionship and visitation rights vested by E. C. 3109.11 are neither absolute nor unqualified but are conditioned upon the finding by a court of competent jurisdiction that such rights are in the best interests of the child. “4. The companionship and visitation rights of relatives granted in E. C. 3109.11 are subservient to the best interests of the minor child.””
