Comments I just wanted to say it was a pleasure to get to know MaMaw over the past 6 yrs. As fiesty as she was in her later years, I can imagine the mischief she would get into in " her younger days. Mamaw would always hear my bike when I would leave or return home. It made me feel so good that she would look for me to return home after a ride. I would always ask Mamaw if she was ready for a ride, to which I would always receive her consistant response, "I think I will pass sweety". I even offered to duct tape her on so she would not fall off. She would roll her eyes playfully at me and tell me to go on. God Bless you Mamaw and thank you for gracing us with your presence, you will always be fondly remebered with love and admiration. Roger - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM
