My grandma. What can I say besides She...Was...AWESOME. She was tough and kind. She was the quintessential little Italian Grandma and showed her love through food. She would cook 10 pies in one sitting to make sure we used up those apples and would have something warm to enjoy in the middle of winter. She cooked pots and pots of sauce and made sheets and sheets of ravioli. She fed us and loved us. She was a mean poker player, and I spent many full afternoons drinking 7-up floats and playing Chang Hi Rummy, or as we lovingly called it, Grandma Wins.
Tonight my grandma met Jesus, in person. Rena Georgi Conley past way after 99 years and 7 months. She was loved and I miss her.
Thanks for sharing the memories, Dana.
