Mrs. Gramaje and Art... So sorry for your loss. I remember so clearly staying at your home in December 1986. Whenever we would come in the door, Mr. Gramaje would immediately get up--without a word--and go and prepare food for us. It was my first taste of real crab... Everything he made was so delicious! I remember feeling so welcomed and at home there. Thank you for the wonderful memory. God bless and take care of you. Love, Denise
