In December of 2002, my great grandmother, M. Elizabeth Jones passed. She was 92 years old. Everybody called her "Jonesy." We weren't as close as my grandmother and I are, but when I was younger, I remember her trying to teach me how to play Crazy 8s. She LOVED cards and she LOVED bingo.
This is not really recent, but my grandfather, Albert Hays Sr. passed away 3 years ago. I couldn't believe he died, but he was in so much pain. He loved movies...of all kinds. He had the biggest movie collection of anyone I know. He liked playing tricks on his grandkids too. One day, I was in the mall, and I heard someone behind me who said a phrase EXACTLY like my grandpa used to say it. In fact, it sounded just like my grandpa. I turned around real quick in disbelief and went on about my business. I miss him so much.
