I will miss my grandmother so much. She has been very dear to my heart all my life. She always made me feel happy and I will always remember my visits at her house in Maine. She always made good bread and she was always happy. She always called and stayed in touch with me and my daughter Kristine. I remember my trips to Walmart with her and she would buy me word search books. I especially remember the cottage and stopping at the little store on the way. I will always think of her when I look at the hand made things she gave to me. Grampie and her were very good to me. I will miss her a lot. Love Karen and Kristine
