To my honourary Grand-mom!
I love you to the moon and back again….and always will! You have known me since I was a little girl and I have thought of you as my Grand-mom as long as I can remember (as my Grandparents were far away). You were and always will be an important part of my life. Twenty-eight years ago this week I got engaged, you hosted my bridal shower and you hosted many events over the years for our family including an anniversary party for my mom and dad.
You and Jack trusted me to take care of your house and George (German Sheppard) for a week while you went away. George was my protector. I had my first date with Warren (Husband) while taking care of George. I remember a van drove up into the driveway, rang the bell and George started barking (took out the drapes in the hallway). I said down and sit and he did. The delivery man gave me the flowers, looked terrified as I had this German Sheppard with me, I said thank you and he left and so did George! George was well trained and knew the driver was fine so George jumped into his van lol. I went out and said to the driver he likes you, the driver said thank goodness! I said come George sit. The driver was very impressed and said you are a good mom. I said I am the babysitter but his mom is great!
Rest in peace Grace! I will miss you dearly. You were a big part of the person I turned out to be today. Because of you and Jack, Warren and I had our first date 28 years ago.
Love always!
Kathy Sampson (Ne: Butt) and Warren, William, Michael and Jason (meow)
