    A lot of what we will all say will always include the white house on the River Rd. The big oak table and the laughter! The good times and memories….the tomato slices and the strawberry jam! The walks to the old railroad tracks to put down a nail and return the next day to find it flattened. Thank you for who you are to me and for who I am because of you! Love you Grandma! Too-da-loo….until we meet again!
