I can't begin to describe the deep sense of sadness I feel in the wake of my grandma's death. She was the most remarkable woman whose strength, compassion & even need for cleanliness I have modeled my life after. She was selfless in everything she did. My fondest memories are going to the monastery & saying the rosary (the one that smelled like roses), helping her plant flowers, talking to her about marriage & family, going to Perry Drug Store at 96Telegraph & getting all the candy I wanted. She would rock me in her rocker on the breezeway every weekend I was at their house on West Parkway & sing, Loo loo loo until I fell asleep in her arms. I know she is reunited with my grandpa & they are up in heaven watching over my family & me as they watched over me in life. Grandma, may you always know just how much I love you. I promise one day when I am a grandmother I will treat my grandchildren just as wonderful as you treated yours. Give Grandpa a kiss for me!
