I have so many great memories. My grandmother was a kind woman. She could make anyone smile, she didn’t know a stranger. Thinking of grandma reminds me of pink dresses, her beautiful hands, chocolate, Gabriels, homemade spaghetti, flowers, her keepsakes and dancing like a chicken in the living room ( : My grandmother always knew how to cheer me up. I loved her stories and going on walks. I’ll never forget that. Grandma reminded me to always be kind and loving to others. I’ll miss her!
