As I spoke to family members on Wednesday afternoon & was told of grandma’s passing I was of course filled with sadness. At the same time when alone with my thoughts I was filled with happiness. My happiness came from the many good & cherished memories I have of my grandma.As a child I spent alot of time at my grandma’s house.She would take me on the bus to downtown New Haven. I remember shopping at Lerner’s for school dresses.When the movie Sound Of Music came out she took my sister Janine & me to see it.This was the best she took me to the New York World’s Fair! I was young & can’t remember the entire trip but I do know because of her I had that experience! It was at my grandma’s that I seen the first man to walk on the moon. When I got older & Lara was born I spent some more time there because I would babysit Lara some Sat. nights. When I got married & had my children she was always good to my husband & loved my kids. While writing this I am tearful for the first time since I heard of grandma’s death. My tears are of sadness but also for good memories of my grandma. May you rest in peace, Love, Paula
