Can´t believe it has been 10 years since I have seen and talked to you! Think about you a lot. I was just talking about you at work the other day with my coworkers. We were talking about the Old Cooks Department store and how you said, that I would say, my moma worked there when we passed the store. You would love all the grandkids I have now and spoil them the way you spoiled me. I Love you Grandma!!I will see you again one day and it is getting closer. Shari
