Grandma, you were the matriarch of the family. We could never leave your house hungry! You were always offering us food to eat from the time we walked in the door until the time we left. I remember when grandpa picked us up from school, you would always give us bread and butter as a snack when we got to your house. I am so glad that my son was able to meet his great grandparents and he loved you so much. He loved bringing Lindsey down to your house with his Mimi. You are going to be missed by so many, although you are not here, your memories and stories live inside us forever. I love you so much. You will forever be in my heart.

Several years ago I had the fortunate chance to visit with Aunt Faye and Uncle Tommy while in Indy for a business meeting. Our younger son Geraden (12 at the time) traveled with me so we could visit family and see sites. When we got to the house, Aunt Faye encouraged Geraden to use the swing sets in the yard. As he went outside, she followed him and jumped on the swings too! They sat swinging and talking together for almost an hour. It is a such a precious memory for both Geraden and me. I’m sorry we were not able to get together more often over the years. Our hearts go out to the entire family. Love - Nadine (and family)
