Uncanny life parallels:
beginnings like endings
training wheels like walkers
strollers like wheelchairs
cribs like hospital beds
formula like ensure
diapers like depends
beginnings like endings
Memorable Grandma quotes:
"Don't get old."
"I gotta fart. (Fart) Hallelujah. Hallelujah!"
"EAT, EAT, EAT!!"
"You're getting fat!"
"STOP IT!! Laugh like a lady (humph)."
"Eat, eat, eat."
"Move! Move! (while gently swatting the dogs out of her way with her feet)
"He's too old."
"Ask him how much he as in savings."
"Get married."
"I want you to be happy."
"Eat, eat, eat."
Lived 86 long years. Second youngest daughter of 7 (5 sisters, 1 brother). Had only an 8th grade education but cared for her entire family when her mom died and supported her own family when she had her two daughters. Loyal Sears employee for most of her life. Loyal workhorse. Gorgeous skin. Good cook. Voracious appetite. Loved egg anything... custard, overeasy, omlet, etc. Practical, yet generous. Full of treats. Ashes will be spread in the ocean off the coast of Hawaii where my grandfathers were spread 17 years ago.
