She made the best chocolate cake ever. She gave me the recipe years ago. It's what I bake when I want to impress. It never fails. It's been many years since I've seen any of these family members. Patty called my Mother, Marge Buzzerd, to let her know. Have thought about y'all many times. I have fond memories of her. Know you all will miss her.

My grandmother holds a special place in my heart. She was there when I needed her the most and when I just wanted to chat in between. She never forgot a holiday, graduation, birthday or anniversary, and always made the effort to be there with a card, a gift or phone call. With Mom and my Uncles, she always found a way to come and visit, from Maryland to Texas and Ohio. I always wished we lived closer. And now, I had hoped we would have had more time. I am thankful for the time we did have, and for the love she gave. She will be dearly missed.
