Gammy may you rest in peace. I know you are with Bun now probably fussing over how loud he is listening to the TV and making him a sandwich.

I will miss you dearly Gammy. I am so grateful I got to live with you and Bun all of those summers. I talk about you all the time to the kids. They always laugh at our stories. This summer I promise to bring them to the shore so they can take a ride on the Scrambler, play a round of putt putt, have a slice of pizza and leave with a suntan and a box of saltwater taffy. :)
