I have so many good memories of her and being in your home as a teenager. Too many to tell and some that make me laugh. I remember the green dress with all the ruffles she made Carolyn for prom. Having coffee and toast with real butter many many mornings. The family having porcupine meatballs and your mom making sure I had peanut butter! Loved her like she was my own mama.
