Grandmother, Edna Benner Styer, died yesterday, April 15, 2009, at 5:15PM.
I do not know what this means yet. I have many memories of holidays at my grandparents' house on Cowpath Road, Hatfield, PA. I noticed recently that I inherited her cowlick at the front of her hairline, above her left eye. She gave my father the palest skin, and he, in turn, gave it to me. I have been disconnected from her for most of my life, as my parents moved to Indiana, then Massachusetts, from Pennsylvania, before I was born, and raised me and my brother there. She always sent birthday packages with chocolate covered pretzels and Landis treats, I did not send enough Thank You cards. I keep thinking that this is simply how life works, it ends. Hers did not end unexpectedly.
I do not know what this means yet.
