I really miss Grandma Owens! Her positive spirit was uplifting. I remember lots of visits to Dayton to see my Uncle Skip and my cousins and Grandma Owens. And no matter how many kids were in the house, she kept a level head and she seemd to just enjoy our company. I also remember her doing my hair on several occasions. Loved that. It's a difficult time for the family, but it was so nice to see all of my family.
