My favorite childhood memories were playing with my cousins in Grandma's basement and swimming in her pool. And as I got older it became hours of playing pionchle and rummikub at her kitchen table. I loved her blunt honesty and her whit. I couldn't have asked for a better Grandmother.
Grandma, you will be dearly missed.

Florence was my Mother-in-law. We got along great. She looked to me for support of her opinions which, even if I disagreed, she was entitled. She was feisty and very sure of herself. I miss her already.
happy new years at nursing home
