I miss Grammie. She was a real lady and always had unconditional love for all of her grandchildren. She was fun and loved to go places and do things. I grew up next door to her and worked on her and my grandpa's dairy farm. All of my friends knew her as "Grammie." I am the oldest grandchild (she only had 4) so I knew her longest. We really had a thing going about the soap opera Days of Our Lives. She watched that soap from the beginning and got me hooked when I was in high school in the 1970's. I would watch it every day I could between work and college and the days I missed, Gram would give me the run down report. In the early 1980's when VCR's came on the scene, I was in seventh heaven! No more missed Days!Gram never missed "her story" until the last year of her life when it became too difficult for her to follow the stories on TV. Even then she liked to visit with me about the show. She always called it our "story." Gram's life story ended in April 2006. She died peacefully at home surrounded by her family. My aunt, mom and I sang Gospel songs as she was taking her final breaths. Soon she was still. Grammie was in heaven...
