I first met "Grammy" in 1992 at her house in Belvidere and was immediately taken by her warm personality. Since then was fortunate to spend quality time with her whenever I visited Pennsylvania. My most memorable time with her was when me and Mehar were dropping her to her house on our drive back from Pennsylvania and there happened to be a classic car show the same day which had just concluded. I recall Grammy naming every classic car that we passed including mentioning the name, the model and year, while I frantically googled them for confirmation. On the way we also passed by a Cracker Barrel and since we were on the topic of food she mentioned how much she liked their Chilled Apple Cider. I asked Grammy if she was up for it, and with her eyes lit up she replied "Oh Sure." We made that stop into Cracker Barrel, ordered our Apple Ciders and sipped them all the way to her home, and yes it was delicious. That moment will always stay etched in my memory as we bonded over Apple Cider. On later trips when we would visit PA, whenever I would get a chance, I would get her the chilled Apple Cider, which she would enjoy. I found that we had a mutual interest in desserts, having a good laugh, cars, sharing stories and of course chilled apple ciders. I was fascinated by how many interests she had, be it solving jigsaw puzzles, knitting, collecting bracelets, flowers and a fondness for desserts. A truly remarkable lady indeed.
Grammy you will be missed, may your soul rest in Peace.
