Remembering Grandma Dora

Dora as a Child
Grandmother, spoke of the past
            many times of a lake - named Lemon
            how she explored for rocks
            loved  travel and adventure
            although, in her later years her adventures were done in books
            had a zest for life
         
Grandmother, loved and respected
            gentle furrows on her face
            scent of baby powder ever present
            favored the color yellow
            a twinkle in her eye
            warm infectious laugh
            a comforting lap that one loved to snuggle in
            "Bless your heart" and saying she was"tickled to see you"
            was a response that many recall
           

Grandmother, friend, wise one
              enjoyed gardening, the feel of the earth, its rich aroma
              loved to work with her hands, crochet and knit for loved ones
              prepared amazing delicacies in her teeny tiny kitchen
              Twins or Vikings Games were often heard in the room
              her knowledge on multiple topics was vast
           
Grandmother, companion, wife
              Lunch Bunch and Friend of the Library
              furry black poodles
              loved holding her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren
              everyone's favorite
              loved her husband dearly
              her conversations were sprinkled with his name
           
Grandmother, deep rich memories of her life
              what she loves makes us smile
              her sweetness will be remembered
              her kindness will be thought of often
             she lives on in our souls, will never be forgotten

In Loving Memory of Dora Irene Shemanek
August 15, 1911-January 11, 1999
