  6. Tara

    I am so sorry about your loss. She has left me with many memories that make me smile and chuckle. the infamous “Gotta hang together”, her great big bear hugs, “By God…..fill in the blank” ~ everytime I hear anyone say that I immediately think of her, the summer spent trying to get that cast iron pan clean and shiny ~ and her teaching me the proper way to clean cast iron (a skilll I still use today!) , and of course the jars upon jars of homemade pickles ~ I don’t think I could ever get enough of those. These are just a few of the memories of her that will live on with me. Many hugs to all of you Love, Tara
