Gosh, I do not know where to start. Mary was my great Grandmother. My name is melissa and I am the Grandaughter of Lois, Daughter of Christina.
We all called her Gram. Reading the nice piece on this site where they talked about her charater brought tears to my eyes. Gram was what i like to call, my best freind as a child, although... to her i was known as "Denis the Menice". tyhen again, i think that was true for all us kids. I spent countless hours with my great grandmother as a girl. i have soooo many memories. i remember more things about her, and the time i spent in her home than i remember anything else in my childhood. To this day i remember EVERYTHING about her house in Owego New York, where i played in the counrty side. i will always remeber.... sitting in her rocker (which had been Great Grandpa's)looking through binoculars at the cows accross the hill in the pasture, Her white doilies that she had on the end table, the botton collection that i spent hours playing with, her Wonderful homecooked meals, cookies and that mouth watering coffee cake that is to this day my favorite thing to eat.... though it's been atleat 12 years since it last touched my tongue. I will never forget sleeping in her silky nightgowns and waking up next to her in the morning. she always slept with her arm accross her eyes. I would always ask myself, "how can she sleep like that?" funny, now i sleep like that too alot of times. I could talk all day about my beloved Gram, All i have left to say here is that she has touched my life. I love her Dearly and she will always be with me in my heart and my memory.
