I have today, October 27, as the day that Gram passed away... My mom has it on her calendar as October 28. My dad remembers it was near Halloween... Does anyone have the exact date handy? Just curious... NINE years ago...

I think it was the 28th...only because I think we drove after school on Friday to get there...stayed all night and then she died early on Sat. morning.

It is hard to believe it has been 9 years...

I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
