Noni and my step-mother, Karen, chatting and drinking champagne.
Update March 28th, 2006. Noni passed away the evening of March 27th 2006 due to complications after having a fall that broke her shoulder and hip. She'd been in failing health now for the previous 6 months. She outlived my grandfather, the love of her life, by about 11 years but that didn't really slow her down too much. I'm ashamed to say I did not get to see her much in the last 3 or 4 years due to her moving a little further away in order to be closer to my aunt. Lousy excuse I know. Noni was my grandmother who could COOK! (Sorry Dee Dee... well you know :). Noni taught us to love the pasta, salami, pound cake and seven-up. From the time I was a baby till the last time Kel and I visited her, she was always the consumate host, immediately bringing out a spread of food and drinks that would feed a 'wrecking-crew' for a week.
Memory flashes:
- Putting together jigsaw puzzles with her.
- The best spaghetti sauce in the world.
- Playing trivia games where we each made up our own questions.
- Showing her pictures of our latest trip abroad.
- Getting mad at her for making me take a nap.
- How tiny she seemed the last time I saw her.
I miss her very much.
