I have so many wonderful memories of Gram, my wife Julie's Mum. There are far too many to list and impossible for me to pick a favorite. I'll always fondly remember the many holidays and Sundays at Grammy and Pop's home. We would see them both cooking in the kitchen, pretty much getting in each other's way and taking turns looking out the window anxiously waiting for their grandchildren to arrive. Their home was always filled with love, laughter and great food! I'll miss Grammy and Pop but I know that they had a wonderful life.
