She was like a second mother to me. I enjoyed talking to her about things. She always made me chicken cacciatore!

The Mother in her spangled veil took the mother of our mothers home... Jude speaks and we know, its time to make our own way as the old way dances into the strong arms that made us.
Goodbye Grandma Bessie Jane.
