My grandmother was amazing woman. She sang to all 12 of her grandchildren, she had a beautiful voice. She played piano, loved to sew and plant posies. She and my grandfather Deb were married for 55 years before he passed from cancer. They also built the home they lived in shortly after they married and continued to live there until they passed. Grandma love her family, she had several (11) siblings. She liked her jewelry, make up and her hair had to be just right. She was a kind woman.
