My memories of the time spent with you will live on forever. Playing in the back yard, picking flowers, gardening--fresh tomatoes right off the vine, climbing the Mimosa trees and sitting on the porch. Our yearly trips to the beach. There was always accordian music with the Shriners in the evenings, swimming, and parades. I love you Grandmother. You will always be in my heart.
