Many memories come to mind as a kid growing up...playing banking on the stairway in their first home and running to the big park near their house. Loved her cooking: pickled beets, bread n butter pickles, 5 layered salad, caramel puff corn, all pies, but her sugar cookies were the best.
As a kid, i don´t remember us being very close, but when my mom/her sister passed in 2012...we were both able to fill a void that was greatly missed. I want to thank Rob and Carol for sharing her with me the last 14 yrs. I enjoyed my many visits with her, taking her out to lunch (fighting to pay for it), and so thankful for phones today and having a camera at my fingertips.
I was able to get several of her. She like gma was difficult to get her to smile...but i did capture a few gems.
I will miss our visits, but i know she is very happy with the heavenly reunion, no longer hurting, and will now be with me like the other guardian angels I´m blessed with.
Love you Dinny
