I suppose when one outlives her peers, there are fewer looking to post in a space dedicated to this.....my favorite memory is how "Floss" came to help us with her first grandchild (Curtis) in 1971.....we were 19, and a bit in the dark...she was helpful, but not overbearing....glad that she lived a long life, as I believe she had no enemies.
