Peggy Thanks for all the memories. Some things that I will never forget about Grandma McCoy are her traveling up and down the Eastern Coast, sometimes on the wrong way on the road or hitting small feathered animals. She taught me that tomato sandwiches are no good without rye bread and lots and lots of pepper. I remember watching the grown-ups play skip-bo at Aunt Leshia?s house waiting to be grown to play?Only to find out that they no longer play skip-bo, now its dominos. Sighs. Well Grandma McCoy had a very full life. We will miss her. My prayers and love are with you all. Much Love ---The McCracken?s in Tokyo.
