My first memory of Gram is having Christmas Eve dinner at their home with angel hair and calamari. I was so confused wondering where the turkey was, but then discovered how amazing her Italian dishes were. I loved going to their house for dinner. She and grandpa were so fun to be with. I also remember when she gave my parakeet a home after her previous bird had died. She took such good care of that bird that it started laying eggs it was so happy. I always remember her with a smile. I loved talking with her on the phone.  My girls were so happy to be her great grand daughters. I am so glad for the precious time we all had with her at Thanksgiving. She will always be such a joy to my heart. Grandma Mary, I love you. ❤️

Gram

My last memory of gram is being snuggled together in the big chair, looking at pictures. Her hearing might have been frustrating to her but sharing images of the kids faces made us smile. Nearly a century 1920-2020. I can’t even imagine. I would make phone calls to her so I could properly cook the family recipes. Bragiole, Cacciatore, Calamari and Orange salad. Angel hair with garlic and anchovy. So many Christmases, so many years ago. 

My best friend and cousin and I, and my sister would be  peering through the heater vent to hear grandpas jokes, moderated by grams stern but amused voice.

She so often spoke of missing Grampa. They had a strong bond like few marriages I’ve ever seen. I’m sure she is happy to be with him again.
