I remember her the same way my sister did. As children, we went to visit our grandparents frequently with our Dad. She lived nearby, and we would visit her and her family, too. She was a wonderful, happy woman to always remember.

Oh, the distant childhood memories. We (my sister and I) only spent a few overnights at her house as kids but they were fond memories. She was always so sweet to us. I will miss her and may she rest in peace.
