Morgan and Mallory, I have only good memories of Mammy at our house. She loved Rocko and threatened to steal him. She was a good grandmother to all her grandchildren. She adored her boys but missed her husband Herb so very much. My last conversation with her on her porch feeding the "peanuts" (omit her porch feeding the squirrels peanuts with the "t" silent is how she pronounced it. After a few times of giggling she turned to her girls and said "alright girls stop being naughty". Pb Anyway God takes the goodness ones early. Remember all the memories. She loved you both very much! Remember we are still your family. We are here whenever your ready. Love Aunt C & Uncle B!
