john's 94 year old grandma, "Meme", had a stroke yesterday morning and passed away in her sleep. she was a very funny, fiesty lady and always said what she was thinking. i'll never forget the first time i met her. john and i had been dating for a while so we went to kentucky at christmas time so i could meet his family out there. she had a big pot roast dinner ready for us and made country ham and biscuits for breakfast. i liked her right away. during that visit she told me i had ugly shoes. not in a mean way, in a "Meme" way. i'll never forget that. she was a big influence in john's life and really meant a lot to the whole family. we'll miss you, Meme!

I'm sorry guys! I remember the story about the shoes and it still makes me laugh :) She will always be loved and remembered! Take care, Brix
kim and john, i'm so sorry guys...it sounds like she was a special lady who lived a full life and was full of spunk. i love the shoe story too, gotta love her honesty. :)
