Lois Forletta 5/22/1918 - 11/21/2009...

My maternal grandmother passed away yesterday. She was 91 years old...and she had dementia for the last 11 months. She lived with my parents for the last 4 years...and she was very well loved and cared for.


Lois Forletta was one tough broad. And funny. She made a mean spaghetti sauce.

There's been a lot of death in my family's world over the last couple years. My parents have spent most of that time care taking, first my sister and then my grandmother. It's time they got a break.

I love you, grandma...
