What Is This Plant?

Hi! So a few years ago, my mom got a piece of my grandma’s (her MIL) plant. My grandma (Dona, the woman behind the name of the plant πŸ’œ) died two years ago and it’s extremely important to my mom to keep that plant alive for my dad. The thing is, what we were told it was and what Greg says it is are two different plants. My aunt, (dad’s sister) said this was a Pencil Cactus. Greg said it’s a Hairy Stemmed Rhipsalis. I agree with Greg. What do you guys think?
The plant is doing just fine, I just wanted to know what it is. Thanks, y’all!

I agree too. I've only ever heard of Euphorbia tirucalli being called pencil cactus, and of course it's much larger and upright.
Looks like a Rhipsalis pilocarpa πŸ™ŒπŸ½
Thank you @Tropicalgia and @dreamlettuce! I wouldn’t have any idea if it weren’t for Greg hahaha.
