I was very close to my grandmother too.We called her"Mado"instead of nanna,granny or grandma.She would take me with her to our church's lady's guild meetings and bus trips to different cities in Maryland,D.C,Pennsylvania and Delaware.Ms.Marie Langenfelder was one of her best friends among that group and she'd have us come to their shorehome along the Middle River and go on their boat to catch some crabs!During her batle with strokes,I was the only one of twelve grandchildren who'd go visit her.We'd had some major dissagreements that melted during our last days together.The big brick wall that had built up between us fell down and our friendship with forgiveness,love and acceptance will last forever.I,along with she was at peace when she died and everyone there was shocked to see me smiling.My condolances and sympathy are with you!
