Great Granny Allen

Great Granny Allen passed away on September 20th. She was 94 years old. We traveled north with Mommy to say our goodbyes and have one last hurrah in Ohio. We miss Great Granny terribly and are so grateful that we got to share so many memories with her. I really will miss baking cookies with her, making shrink dinks with her and teaching her to play the kazoo! She would sing to us all the time. She was funny and so loving.

My Memories:
