Our thoughts and condolences to Pat and Marion and families....

Craig and Barbara Dowling
York, PA

Isabell H. Smith was the best grandmother a person could have had. Since I was born she was what I considered a second mother.
Sleeping over her house when I was a kid was the best feeling I could have had at my young age. We played lots of Board Games such as
Polar Dare, Dominoes and Shoots And Ladders. These were times I will never forget and always keep close to my heart. 
Once I had gotten a little older we began playing Video Games together, Her favorite ones to play with me were The Adventures Of Lolo Trilogy,
Castlevania II - Simon's Quest and Startropics. I can still picture her face every time the words "What A Horrible Night To Have A Curse." would
be displayed on the screen. We would laugh all the way through as the game went on. Most of our time together was either playing a game or
watching TV and Movies. Some of the best memories involved, Hercules - The Legendary Journeys, The Pink Panther 1950's Cartoon as well as
Due South, Diagnosis Murder, TMNT 1980's Cartoon, Tons of Disney Movies and of course The Phantom Of The Opera with her crush from her child hood, Nelson Eddy.
Grandma and I were extremely close and while I was growing up she and I would visit her Sister's House where I would see my Aunt Rachel, Uncle Fred and a
bunch of my other cousins. While visiting, My cousin Joey and I would hang out with the good old original Nintendo as my grandmother would chat for hours
with Aunt Rachel. My Grandmother would not want me to be sad but to cherish the memories in which will last forever in my heart. I can still see the smile on her
face when I asked her to dance to "Somewhere My Love" or as we came to call it, "The Goomba Dance". Since Super Mario Bros. The Movie was one of her favorite movies
to watch with me. Can't forget Sonic The Hedgehog or even Godzilla as she and I would hunt to collect all of the movies and finish the collection. 
Many times my mother and I would bring Grandma along as we became a trio of hunting for movies or just going out during a beautiful day.
I am so grateful that my Grandmother was able to see me get married to my beautiful wife Nicole and once again dance with me to "The Goomba Dance" as it was one of
best days of my life.
I miss my Grandmother so much but know the list of memories is never ending and will remain in my heart where I will cherish them for the rest of my life and even
then some for all of eternity. She was the best!!!!

I am proud and happy to have known Isabell these past years and express my condolences to her family.  As I sat with her each Monday at Beacon Brook where I volunteer, I enjoyed her humor and her kind, gentle manner.  I will miss her and remember our time at the end of the hall where two chairs awaited us while we chatted about silly things.
