Grandma- Thank you so much for the wonderful memories that I have to hold onto!
*Clamdigging in garbage bags in the rain with the waves hitting you in the rear as you try to hold onto your clam and your shovel
*Picking blackberries in the summer
*banging pots on new years eve
*Teaching me to play gin rummy
*snacking on dried pears and carmel corn
*feeding the squirrels off the deck
*hunting for mushrooms in the woods
*noisy family gatherings
*hunting for the big basket at Easter
*Mersey Dotes and dosey dotes and little lambsy divey that I now sing on sunny days
*rummaging through grandma’s special treasure box for a prize
And so much more. A treasure you have left us to hold onto and share with our own children.
Thank you so very much for that.
We love you
Brandie Jo and the gang
Patsy is and was one one of the most caring, generous and loving women I will know in my lifetime
God Bless…..
Patsy Jean was a treasured matriarch of the Cooper family. She loved all of her family, and we all loved her.
She loved gathering everyone together for a big family reunion. Her presence will be greatly missed.
You will be missed, Patsy Jean. You were a rock in the Cooper family. We are all taking the same path to the same place, you just got there ahead of us. Fond memories will never be forgotten.
Dar n you P.J., who’s going to remind me to drink my hot water and lemon juice every morning? Who’s going to try and keep me on the straight and narrow?
I love you and miss you.
Your “little” cousin, Barb
So sad to have her pass, but the many lovely memories I have of her, will not.
