My condolences to Kathy and the MeDermott family. We loved Grey Grey. Take your rest lovely lady. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
56 years ago, Aunt Melva took in my sister and I when our mom, Alice was laid up in the hospital after our brother Jimmy was born. The time was memorable as I recall I had a place and time to do my homework, dinner was served family style, and we were tucked in snugly at bedtime. Memorably, I worked at St Joes during the time that my grandmother was convalesced, and Melva sat with her through the night whether grandma was awake, alert and oriented, or watching leprechauns run up the walls. Pay it forward. RIP Melva.
