I was named after grandpa her husband died just before I was born. She was very old fashioned from the old country, as they called it back then.
Never remarried or even dated another man. She said no one could or would replace him.
There were 3 grandson's and I was closest with her. I can still hear her telling me stories from her youth! I can still see her walking me to Ritchies candy store on Coney Island Avenue for a malt & Lorna Dunes. She led a very simple life & actually lived with us. I being the youngest loved to spend time with her.

I was 15 when she passed away. It was the first time I knew of death and it helped me learn the reality of life.

48 years later I still shed a tear for her from time to time. My grandma Anna was the greatest may she rest in peace.
