- A 'tummy button' is a much more lady-like body part than a belly button.
- One must always watch soap operas when home sick from school.
- Cigarettes are good (I know I know, but they are! Disclaimer: no, I am not a smoker).
- How to make jam (and of course, blackberry was the best).
- Children are the ultimate gift (she had 7, although sometimes I got the impression she loved her Grandchildren even more).
- Sometimes what's for dinner, is wonder bread with butter and a hamburger patty with pepper, and that's ok.
- Ladybugs are good luck.
- Painted nails are lovely.
- Christmas time is magic.
I will miss talking with her, learning from her and feeling the way I did when she was near. Special. She was special too.

Oh, Lou. I loved her, too. So many memories of her in the short time I've known her. Praying for your family. Xoxoxo
So sorry to hear that Liz. She sounded like a fantastic lady and a lot like you. :)
