Cap'n ... so sorry for your loss, but special parents and grandparents leave us with such beautiful memories ...
I used to walk home from high school which took me past my maternal grandparents' house ... I would stop in every day (if I didn't there would be a call to my house - "Didn't Anthony go to school today???" - my grandmother would have waiting for me a chunk of Italian bread (we don't slice it
), a piece of dried sausage, some provolone cheese, and a small glass of grandpa's home made wine (which I helped him make) ... MANGIA !!! ...
come to think of it, if she did that today someone would probably report her to the authorities !!!
.....
Your family will be in our prayers ...
