MELA GUTIERREZ Nov. 23, 1913 - Oct. 7, 1984 "To Grandma"I remember a child sitting on grandma's knee. But look how the years have flown, for that child was me. The cookies, the candies, and boxes with toys, A trip to grandma's house was an endless joy. The paleness of her fragile skin, and the gentleness of her touch. The way she used to laugh and sing, are the things I miss so much. Oh how I remember the dinners you gave, the beans, tortillas, and tea. I still can't believe that you are gone, but the memories will always be.Love Ya Always, Venessa
