Grandma, I remember waiting at the Babylon train station for you to get off the LIRR from Jamaica. You would arrive with your "valise" and when we got home , you had these delicious orange slice candies for us to eat. I also remember the time you came to visit and Tom had a bad cold, and you made him wear a sock around his neck and cooked him chicken soup. You made me the funkiest pajamas to wear and you also make me a beautiful dress to wear to Ken and Grace's wedding. I felt like a princess that day. I will remember all the great feasts for the holidays and that you were always smiling and happy. Love you, Cathy

Thank you for showing all of us so much through your life, your creativity, your energy and your love for all. So many images of you cooking, singing, sewing, laughing and always doing for others will never fade. We are all so fortunate that you were a part of our lives.
