Ever since I was a little girl I can always remember visiting you and and bringing you treats from the bakery for the ride home. Every sunday unless if you were in Maine you would come down to our house for the day and have sunday dinners. Those dinners meant a lot and I will always treasure the memories you gave to me.
With my love
Megan
