Skittles grandmother (Mamaw, left with Skittles mom Judy) passed away Friday (5.9.08) at the age of 80. We were lucky enough to live next door to her for a year (at a very generously extended low rent) and she was always happy and smiling and ready to visit, and I have never felt safer in a house. She kept an eye on us, and whenever I was home sick, his family always knew more than my own, because if my car was home during the week Mamaw would report it to the Pinter side, and I would get calls and soup and concern like you would not believe. She (and they as well) took better care of me that if I was true family, but from what I have seen and heard through her many wonderful friends, this was her way.
As the funeral is complete, if anyone would like to make a contribution in her name to the M D Anderson YMCA I am sure she would be thrilled. http://www.ymcahouston.org/giveagift.aspx
