Kelly Crain RichardsonMy memories of my grandmother are fond. I will always remember the time she set aside for me to teach me to cook, bake, sew, and bowl. Our summers spent together in my early childhood will always be so special to me- Jeapordy, Klondike bars, movies, puzzles, games, and long walks in the evening. Her patience with me as a child, and her love for me helped to shape the mother I am for my son today. I will always remember her warmth and her love, and I will always have a deep appreciation for her pure kindness to me.
