From what I remember as a child, she was an amazing Grandmother. Always had food on the table for us kids when we’d come over for a visit and her house felt like our second home. As of today,my favorite thing in the world is to drive Grandma’s old 65′ Chevy truck. I remember riding in that as a young one and to be able to say that I drive my Great Grandmother’s truck, is something a lot of people cannot say they have done. I just wish we lived a little closer over the years to have seen her more often. I did get to see her last summer, she recognized us and you could see that twinkle in her eye. I do remember one thing about Grandma, she always winked at you. And she did that last summer when we visited, it was hard not to break down into tears.. Thanks for helping raise us Grandma and for the things you did for my Mom and Dad. You are a true caring and loving person. We miss you greatly! Sincerely,
Brad Snow
