Grandma~
My mom always told stories about times that you spent together and how fabulous you were. Even though I didn't get to spend much time with you, you always made me feel special. You always sent thoughtful cards and when I was little I loved when you sent packages.
The last time I visited you took me to Sonnenberg gardens and to lunch at Polominis. Then we spent the afternoon visiting Aunt Ese. It was a fun day.
Thank you for the memories. Love you,
Kendra

Mom - You did the best you could do and I did the best I could do in carrying out your last wishes. I regret that the last six months of your life could not have been more enjoyable. The relationship we had was taken away these past few months and I missed that contact with you. You will be missed by me and my family. Our prayer is that you are now at peace with the Lord. We love you Mom.
Your son, Robert

We will miss you Mom. We had a lot of fun over the years. You were a wonderful Grandmother and the kids will always remember the boxes of gifts you often sent in the mail. I pray you are at peace now and finally reunited with your twin brother Earl. With love.

My Grandma Pearl~
When I was a little girl, I spent many overnights with my Grandma. We used to cook, go shopping looking for deals and get dressed up and go to special events. Some of the particular things I remember are: before falling asleep at night, I would tell her funny kid jokes and make her laugh. She taught me to put lotion on my hands and elbows every night before bed. So, when we were laughing about the jokes, she would also be rubbing her lotion on her elbows. To this day, if something is especially funny, my girls and I will rub our elbows like we are putting on lotion Grandma Smith style.
I remember making my first cake at her house. It was a white cake in a Christmas tree shaped pan. We frosted it with green frosting and put shiny silver candy decorations on it. She told me to be careful not to break my teeth on them.
When I was 10, my Grandma took me to Rochester to see the Bolshoi Ballet, Swan Lake. I was a ballet student at the time. I was so excited. I wore white gloves and panty hose for the first time. We went to a fancy dinner and I was horrified when I spilled my water all over the table. To my amazement, Grandma just smiled and said, it is fine. The waiter immediately came over lifted things up off the table and presto, a new table cloth was on and he set things back down; almost in one smooth motion. It was one of the most memorable events of my life. I felt very special to get to go with her.
Another weekend adventure, we were excited to go shopping with her girlfriend Pauline. We all drove to Geneva together. Although it wasnt that far, I thought it was a big adventure. We went to K-Mart. I remember they found these transistor radios on sale and that they were just the greatest. They bought one for practically everyone they knew. They gave me one at the end of the day. I still have that radio for my granddaughters to play with. Something from the good old days.
My Grandma taught me to be clean & tidy. She taught me to dress for the occasion; whatever it is, take the time. I used to watch her get ready for the day; washing her face, doing her make up, putting on lotion & clothes. What was appropriate and what was not. She taught me that if you want to be Fabulous; then you are.
Grandma had an infectious laugh. From the time I was little; I loved to try to get her to crack up laughing. The funniest thing I ever did was; one time when I was spending the night, I waited until after we lotioned up and turned the lights off. When it was dark & quiet, I made my toe make a popping sound. I did it over & over again. She said, What is that. I told her it was my toe. She cracked up, turned on the light and has to see how I did it. The last time I saw her, in September 2012; we both laughed about it all over again.
Grandma loved to drive somewhere; anywhere. I loved to ride with her and listen to her talk to me. Everything seemed fun and amazing when we were cruising around in her fancy car.
We have lived far away, on the west coast for 30 years. Grandma came to visit us a couple of times and we visited her every few years during that time. She had a very long and active life with many friends. I know she is at peace now and I have many memories that I will look back on and smile. Grandma made a big impact in my life. From the day I was born, she called me Lori Ann. In my teenage years, it annoyed me because I wanted to be more grown up. As an adult, I understand, she was simply very proud to have her first Grandchild. I am proud that she was my Grandma
