I remember she used to always say "well I'll swan!'. And I would tease her by saying it again . And ask her what it meant, she would say honey I don't know, it's just a old timey saying! And we would laugh! Them were the days!!!

Whenever I came to visit, she always had to make sure I was fed. At first she would always make something but in latter years it was going to KFC. Love you and will miss you. Wish I would have found the time to come down and visit.
