Sam's Peop: Missing One

We say a fond farewell to Grandma. Joyce moved to Virginia Beach this month. She was very busy the last few months she was here: getting hitched, selling her house, taking care of the Palinski kids and moving home and hearth down South. She was a real asset around these parts—sewing curtains and changing diapers and making endless pots of coffee for Aunt Mary and her neighbor Jean Zipp. To say farewell, she took the grandkids to Caz Park for one last celebratory picnic and the adults took her and Joe out to dinner. No matter how busy she was, she always found time to bend her bad knees down on the floor to play with grandbaby #10 Sam. As a little nudge, she gave Sam his first pair of underwear (note to self: do not overly blog about potty training). She's the best. We hope she enjoys the comforts of her beautiful new home, her Virginia Beach grandchildren, boating with Joe, a happy retirement and frequent visits to her Buffalo Family. We love you Grandma/Mom/Joyce.
