I have so many, she meant a lot to me and I'll miss her. One of my favorite is taking the trips "up north" and as we would pass the power plant she would say "what did the big chimney say to the little chimney? Your too little to smoke". I miss you Grandma.

So sorry for your loss. Carol was always a good neighbor when we lived next to you all way back in the 50's and 60"s. I sure enjoyed our coffee times. You will have a lot of memories of her. Love you all and hope to keep hearing from you. Alice
