Grandma I will remember: The smirky smile like you were always up to somthing, How you always asked me to paint your nails or toenails. I will remember the sugar junky you were, 2 to 3 teaspons of suger you wanted in your cup of tea. I remember you and I could kill a bag of candy within minutes, Remember when mom would get mad because we would eat all the sweets in the house. I will remember Amanda's knickname for you "ME ME IZZY." I will remember when Johnny and I would get in trouble and you had to use the big wooden stick. I remember when Johnny and I were in your bathroom and we found what we thought to be chocolate, well it was exlax, and he was in the bathroom for the whole day. You and I were laughing so hard all day. I remember when at you apt in frankort I got locked in the bathroom for hours and you had to call someone to get me out and I was crying. I will remember the eggs, you used to make me, know one can make them like you. Plus the bologne sandwiches you made johnny and I during lunch. Also the concotions you used to make, johnny and I felt bad and we used to eat it to make you feel better even though it wasn't good. I remember on my 21 birthday you drank a glass of vodka straight, I though you were crazy. I remember everyday I would get home from highschool or class and ask you what happened on Days, or in the neighborhood because your a noisy rosy. Remember the time while I was driving with you and the guy almost hit us, you were cursing him out and then we laughed. Everytime I was on the phone you would ask me "what happened? what is going on?" or the notorius question "Was that Annie on the phone?" I remember when Eric and I visted you at Country manner, you were planning your exscape like you were in jail or something. You wanted us to live together. You had it all planned out. I am sorry I didn't happen. I remember how you always call people by other peoples names, or make themn ryme with IZZY like nyssie, missy, annie.. I will remember your favorite people, Madonna and Princess Diana. Your favorite word "Keipish" How loud you listened to the TV and I would come in and change the channel on you and then a minute later you'd change it back. I will remember you sitting on the couch and tippy would be squeezed between you and the couch, the warm spot. I would yell at you for feeding that dog so much. I will remember how cold you always were, and you would blast the heat and Mom would get mad. BUT I will ALWAYS REMEMBER no matter how late it was when I got home, you were always downstairs awake or not with a cup of tea waiting for me to get home and " I would always say grandma what are you doing up", You would make exuses but I knew you were waiting for me to get home safe. I knew you were worried about me. These are the memories I will always cherish and remember of you. I know everyone has different memories from you, but these were mine and yours. I had the benifit of living with you, and I am blessed for that. I had a second mom not just a grandma. I love you and I'm going to miss you very much. You were the heart and soul of our family, I don't know how it is going to be without you, but I do know you are Irreplacable.
