My Grandmother Catherine had the best laugh, it was contagious. She was a true and proper Lady. She was married to my grandfather Richard just shy of fifty years together. They had three children Joanne, Chris & Don. They kept a beautiful home in St. James with a beautiful garden in the back yard and plentiful apple tree. She most often sat with her legs crossed drinking tea. Her home was immaculately clean. She'd make us grandkids endless egg salad sandwiches that were soft as a cloud. I remember one of her sayings that stuck with me through life, "peace at any price" and I still use it. She wore pearls and fancy jewelry and collected porcelain figurines. I loved to stare at them in the display case. I saw her one last time at New Years. She didn't seem to remember me but was smiling and laughing. Sometimes I find that same laugh slip out of me and I realize that I sound just like her or my aunt Joanne. I'ts a subtle high pitched giggle that reminds me of them. It's quick and sweet, a sudden burst of eloquent burst of JOY. All well keeping it proper. I will never forget the way it sounds and the twinkle in her eye when it surfaced. To a life well lived Grandma! I hope you are dancing with Grandpa in Heaven. You sure have lots to catch up on! We all Love you very much <3 xoxo - Posted by: Christa Mary MacGregor (Grandaughter) on: Feb 07, 2015
