Marion Goodford Bavos

My cousins, my parents, my grandfather, my aunts, my uncles and I love her so much. Even my friends, too. When my cousin Michael was young, they played UNO together until the end of the game when Michael said "I'm the winner!" for playing well. My aunt Elyce did the campfire somewhere in the woods to cook hot dogs and marshmallows for about 6 years. She's been watching us at my cousin Natalie's pool in her backyard. We celebrate, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and my birthday. My cousin Stephen and I and rest of my cousins were hanging out at her house playing a game of sardines (an active game that is played like hide and go seek, but in reverse). In her old house in Westfield, my cousin Stephen and I were chasing each other around the dining room table and around the living room table. For about 4 years, we had to go on a dolphin cruise in Atlantic City, but it was raining too much. She loves us forever and she be sorely missed. -Christian, her 17-year-old grandson
