"I remember going to my grandma Marys house when I was little girl and she would watch me,she had crutches at the time and if I was bugging her she would stick out her crutch and try to get me playing around. Also we cooked one time at her house and we were cooking breakfast we had bacon,eggs and when we were cooking the bacon it popped on our eye brows the same eye brow and it hurt so bad so she put some medicine on it. I have had some great memories with my grandma. she will be truely missed and never forgotten. She was a great lady inside and out. She lived with my dad and my mom and I for 3 years a while back and I always helped her get ready and take baths and she would always fight me to take a bath but after the bath she was fine lol. If she came to visit at my dads and Trish's house I would make her breakfast with a cup of coffee stright black coffee with some milk. She also liked to look at the news paper while she ate her food or a magazine. I love you grandma Mary your in a great place know with everyone else having a good time looking down on all of us smiling."
