A few last memories ...when we went over to visit Kelley's dad on Christmas, he asked the girls if they wanted to look through Grandma's clothes. That is something they have been wanting to do for a long time. So we spent the next hour going through her closet. She had taken really good care of her clothes and everything was dry cleaned and pressed and hanging with plastic bags over it.
Now this was Christmas for the girls. They all found things that would fit them..(grandma fluctuated with her weight quite a bit over the years from a size 4 up to a 14!) She bought very nice things and the girls were tickeled to get to have some of them. There was a lot of " oh I remember when she wore that", or "she loved that dress", or lots of tears when we would find a bunch of kleenex (her trademark) or some certs in the pocket of a robe or a sweater.
We spent a lovely afternoon trying on the clothes and laughing and remembering her.
