I will remember Grandma's warm greetings, big smile and contagious laugh, stories from the past, the way she gladly displayed my artwork gifts on her fridge and throughout the house with such pride no matter how hideous they were, world's largest family photo collection, Christmas at New Year's Celebrations, family reunions, and of course, the frequent prodding to "find myself a pretty girl and settle down." Still working on that one. I love you and miss you, Grandma!
