Such fond memories. My husband's paternal grandparents both died before he was born, but, we are coming to Italy to see where they were born. Can't wait to visit. Aloha from Hawaii! <strong><em>Thank you, Judy! Can't wait to meet you guys.</em></strong> Cherrye,

Finding out someone is very sick is never easy. Choosing to celebrate them is a wonderful tribute. It comes at a life changing time for me so it was very helpful. My mother passed away December 22nd. I do miss her greatly. I have chosen for the last two weeks to do something similiar to what you have done here. On my Facebook I have been posting different video clips of music she loved. This upcoming week I will be posting video clips of comedians she loved. Music and laughter are two gifts she gave me and I want to share them with others. Thank you for always sharing yourself with us. Your blog is such a gem and treat!! Have a wonderful New Year Cherrye! <strong><em>Thank you for your message. I am so sorry for your loss.</em></strong> Wow thank you for such a beautiful posting. Finding out someone is very sick is never easy. Choosing to celebrate them is a wonderful tribute.

My husband has one living grandmother, and she actually had 24 children, hundreds of grandchildren. They are organizing a party at the end of the month in her honor, thousands of relatives are expected. Pure insanity. May she enjoy her days with you and all of your family! <strong><em>I must have read you wrong ... 24 children?? And I thought Peppe needed flash cards! Wow!</em></strong> So sorry Cherrye, how very sad. My husband has one living grandmother, and she actually had 24 children, hundreds of grandchildren.

Sending prayers from the UK. As a child whose father was in the Forces, we did not even know our grandparents on his side, except for the occassional visit to Malta, in fact we hardly knew anyone on the his side, and now all passed except for a cousin. I can remember my grandmother on my mothers side, but not my grandfather who passed years and years ago, I also lost my father when I was 10, memories are not there now..but I can still remember his face. Take care x <strong><em>Thank you for your comment. I have wondered how much my nephew (who is 9) will remember of my dad.</em></strong> So sorry to hear this about your wonderful grandmother, You will, as other friends has said, have such lovely memories.
