Grandma

My grandma, Marion Sterner, was born February 19, 1913. She passed away this afternoon at the age of 95. She outlived my grandpa by almost 23 years. He passed away October 6, 1985. Now they can finally be together again. I was able to see her on Monday after work for my last time. While I have to keep reminding myself that she was 95 and lived a long, good life, I find myself having a hard time doing that. I think about how kind she was. She was always very loving and was as generous as she was able. The earliest memories of my grandma come from when I was about 4 years old. I remember being at their house on Bradley Street and her wanting me to try liver and onions. I didn't like it. :) My sister and I would sleep over at grandma's apartment in St. Paul and she would make us really good popcorn and we'd stay up and play games. Then in the morning, she would make us pancakes from scratch. It seemed like they took forever to make but they were worth it. They were the best pancakes. I believe she also took my sister and I to the movie theatre for the first time. We saw The Karate Kid. I have very fond memories of my grandma and miss her dearly already. Rest in peace, Grandma. I love you.
