Some of my favourite memories of childhood is of our families together!  Those ugly birthday cakes with the money in them. sleepovers, all day at the lake, singing at the top of our lungs while Nana played the piano, and your Mom counting to ten when we were bad!  Later on it was coming home for a visit and bringing Mom in for coffee.  Your Mom would always show me pictures of the grandchildren and you could see how much she loved each and eveyone of them.  She always let me know how all of you were doing and where you were and what you were doing, she was so proud of all of you!  I loved how your Mom called a spade a spade.  She spoke her mind, but she aways made you feel welcome in her home.  i know eveyone in our family will miss her, especially Mom.  They were friends for 55 years, they may not have always seen eye to eye, but they were always there for each other. May your memories help you get through the rough days, our love to you all,
