Frances: You were my grandma. When I was little and
my mom took you to get your hair done downtown, you'd
always give me quarters... back then,that was a big deal.
And you always wore red lipstick and red nail polish. I
always wanted to wear your rings and other pieces of jewelry,
they were so pretty and big! And at Christmas time, you'd
stuff our stockings with treats like candy, oranges and
walnuts. I miss you... the last time I saw you was at
your funeral.

Elsie: I always wanted to be as close to
you as Lyd was. I remember when we'd spend
the night you'd always say ,"you were asleep
as soon as your head hit the pillow!". At Christmas,
you'd wrap up rocks for the bad grandchildren
( i wasn't one of them!), laugh as they'd cry,
then pull out the real gifts from 'Santa'. When
Mom and I got into that horrible car accident, you
brought dinner over for a few nights after. When you
got sick, I remember you crying and it scared us, but
you said not to worry, you were ok. When you died,
everyone was so sad. I dreamed about you after and
you were just as sweet in my dreams as you were in
person. I think of you often.
