    Our thoughts are with you and your family Joe!! So many of us don’t have that opportunity to say goodbye, and the question of the fish fry is simply classic. What a great way to remember your grandma!! Again keep that chin held high my friend I’m sure she wouldn’t want it any other way.

    I grabbed her hand and she opened her eyes, smiled and said “Joe… are we having a fish fry?” I smiled and said, no, not today Grandma.

    For the past few years, as often as we could, my brother and I would fry fish outside her nursing home and then share a fish lunch with her.

    How cool is that? Sounds like you are a pretty darn good grandkid to have.

    Sorry for your loss. Isn’t it neat how our older relatives seem to know when their time has come,and stay with us until most of us have time to see them one more time. Andthey always remember the good times. God bless them all!!

    That story brings back a couple of old thoughts.

    My condolences Joe, to you and all who loved this lady.

    I was holding my Grandmother’s hand when she took her last breath.
