To this day there is nobody who can bake a cake like my Grandma Pat. I think that I got my sweet tooth from her and also my love of baking. I can remember many a summers I spent at her house learning to cook or sitting out on the poarch on a hot day talking about anything and everything. I will miss her for many reasons but most of all her big hugs every time you came to see her or her waiting in the driveway until you drove away and she couldn't see you any longer. I miss you Grandma but you will be forever in my hearr. I love you. -- Trisha VanderGiessen
