My sweet granny, I remember being at your house most weekends super excited to spend the night. You were the one who introduced me to balogna. We would sit at the table in the apartments in ensley and eat bologna out the fridge while I talked your ear off. I remember being excited to leave church on Sundays & go to save-a lot because I knew you would be there to give me a free treat at the register . I will miss you. Your first grand girl will always love you.
