Nice words fella. My Nain passed away the same time almost, about 3 or 4 years ago. They leave a big gap. Funny and wise.

What interests me as well though is the food...I bet she was a marvellous cook. I just got The Silver Spoon, the Italian cook book, in its first ever English translation. It\'s supposed to be your Bible of cooking. What a top book. My head nearly blew up when I saw it. I\'ll make many meals in honour of Elsa and Bet! :)

Sorry to hear it, Marco. Grandmas can be such a pivotal point in a family. But you have fantastic memories, and no regrets? You\'ll be able to look back with fondness and love.

One of my grandma\'s used to hide under a bridge at a local park and pretend she was a troll as us kids would run over the bridge. My other grandma would tell stories (she was 92 when she died) of the first automobiles, the dancing in the streets at the end of WW1, and her father, who was a barber, cutting Jack London\'s hair. They both had good cookies and candies.

Sorry for your loss Tony.:(

I love hearing old people tell stories about when they were younger. Its like a living history book.

My wife laughs when I run into an older Korean who speaks English and wants to talk to me. I can listen to their stories for hours.

And we will be for the next generation. I\'m 43 and already telling stories of \'when I was a lad\'....I remember the very first video game (pong) and how STUNNING it was. I was at a garage sale and a kid picks up an LP (anyone remember those?) and says: \'WOW, what a huge CD\'. And so on and so on.

Tony, how true. My heart goes out to you for your loss and pain.

Sounds like she had a full life and left lots of good memories.
