Not a mean bone in her body or existence..
Some of my Fondest Memories of my Grams are just the one on one time we shared in the summers hanging out & watching movies and me driving her crazy watching the Jolson story. As if Papa didn't drive her bonkers enough from watching that a million times. LOL! We would also spend time going through photo albums but my most treasured times were when I was about 14 years old and she and I would put on her old records of Glenn Miller or The Mills Brothers and we would dance in the living room to Moonlight Serenade ! I would always enjoy looking through my great grandma Ruth's Family Bible with her looking at all the names and handwritten notes and she always made me feel close to all the family members that I never got to meet. I will forever miss her warm loving spirit and her nurturing nature. She always made me feel warm and safe when I was a little boy and her laugh was so infectious. I loved going in the Summers with her to Boblo Island on the Boblo boat and she would ride the roller coasters with me and laugh hysterically while I couldn't even open my eyes! I'm so grateful that she got to know all of my boys on an individual basis and they were so fond of her and their favorite memories of course we're her evening prayers and they were so fascinated and how she would literally name every single friend she ever encountered and every neighbor and every family member and they were most impressed at her personal relationship with God and how she spoke to him like the father he is. If it wasn't for my Grandma Jenny showing me how to pray as a little boy, I don't think I would have the relationship with Christ that I have today. Their other favorite memory is when she came and stayed with us for a couple nights at our home here in Atlanta and how she was feeding our dog popcorn and she got such a kick out of how our dog would catch the popcorn in its mouth which is a big deal considering grandma was terrified of animals.
I know you're in glory now grandma and I know for a fact you're finally reunited with your beloved Nancy and with your sister Peggy , your mom and dad and of course Papa. I'm going to miss you terribly but I take comfort knowing that you are able to look down and see me and I hope to make you proud and I know that I can always reach out to you through my prayers. Watching Lawrence welk will never be the same without you especially because there will be no one there to answer all my questions on who those people are....HA! but looking over at you and seeing your eyes light up and seeing you move and dance and know all the words to all the songs was a joy to see and I'm going to miss you so much , you are the most special special woman and Heaven must recieved another Angel. Till we meet again Grandma you will always be in my memories and in my heart!
