My grandmother died

Sorry to hear about your loss Doc. Sounds like you had one hell of a grandmother.

Thanks everyone.

 

I got Oscar.  Lil' Oscar was a line of coolers made by Coleman many, many years ago.  He's the perfect size for car trips, as he's tall and narrow and sits in a rear floorboard perfectly.  Oscar accompanied my grandparents and I on a lot of trips, traveling through Indiana, Kentucky, West Virginia and ranging as far as Texas upon occasion.

 

Much later in life he was what my grandmother would send food related goodies home with me and my family in.  Take some cake in Oscar, and bring him back next time you come.

 

Once the will is read, I'm sure there are others but we're just parceling out the things like that now, photos and items with little to no financial value.  My aunt took the quilt with the some of the panels made from an old shirt that had belonged to her father.  There's no doubt my son is my son.  Even I have trouble telling photos of the two of us at 6 or 7-ish apart.

Nice Doc...I have an old plate of my mum's. Pyrex giveaway that's 20+ years old but it's the first one I grab when I need a side plate for bread, toast, cake etc. Feeds me and my memories

Always nice to have a few things that belonged to a lost loved one to remind you of them. I have various things that were my Dad's that remind me of him.
