I really loved this wonderful woman. I will always remember the cake with peanut butter frosting that she baked....Yum How she washed her hair then put it in curls with Bobby pins.....I tried that once...oh what a mess I got but she always made hers look great. I loved playing in her bedroom and sitting at her dresser...it was the coolest! She was a beautiful lady inside and out. Thanks for posting the pictures....loved them.
