-Even in her last days she had jokes! When I visited her, Mandrae couldnt come due to work and so she was talking to him on the phone and was struggling to get her words out and so Mandrae had to go but once he was off the phone she wanted him to know that he was a lazy man. She said, "Tell Mandrae he is a lazy man, 2 vacations." It was so funny. He had just gotten back from 2 vacations and she wanted him to know he was lazy. She was kidding of course but she always knew the latest and kept up w our life even though we were states away.
-She was so caring all the time. She was always asking me about my health issues and the babies and Mandrae and always genuinly concerned. You always felt loved when you visited grandma.
-She loved games. My favorite thing to do was play games w grandma. Her favorite was dominoes (mexican train) and phase 10. But the funniest time w grandma was when we were playing a game, I cant remember which one, and she had to answer the question, "If you could be with someone of the opposite sex at this table other than your mate who would it be?" and she answered, "Mandrae." It was the funniest moment ever and the room was filled w laughter.
-Her potato soup is the best soup I have ever tasted. I always thnk of my grandma when I eat potato soup.
-She always had a candy christmas wreath at christmas and would cut us down candy every day.
-She loved for us to dress up and reinact the Christmas story and read the Bible before we opened presents. She always wanted us to remember the true meaning of Christmas. That was the most amazing thing and I will def pass this on to my children.
-She supported me and my sister in high school in every thing and even into college. We went to college a few hours away and she still made it to most of our home games. That is amazing and she always made sure she was the loudest cheerleader for us.
-When I went to Tabor College my first year I struggled a lot and wanted to go home and my parents moved to Oklahoma and my grandma came to Tabor to spend a day w me. I will always remember that. I was amazing to know that she was there for me.
- When I lived in Huthinson after college, I was working at Hibbett Sports and ended up getting fired and arrested for something I didnt do and it was the lowest time of my life. I was all alone in Hutch and Mandrae was overseas w the Globetrotters. My grandma took me in and comforted me the way only she can comfort you. She was the first to believe me and the first to help me sort thru this mess and get back on track. I dont know what I would have done without my grandma in that moment in my life.
-She always loved Kens pizza and I loved going to Kens with her.
-She is the best grandma and great grandma. She remembers EVERYTHING! She would make sure we had a card and money on every birthday and anniversary and big event. I dont know how she kept up w it. She has so many grandchildren and great grandchildren and children and kept up w it all.
-She loved telling stories and she was so good at it. She had a sense of humor like none other and had the best laugh and smile ever. You were always happy when in her presence.
-Family vacations were always the best bc we got to go to grandma and grandpas house. She knew how to make anything fun. She would always make us home made playdo and make snowman pancakes for us. She always helped us find turtles and pine cones and would play w us outside. She was so much fun.
-She hated when we would pass gas and we were not allowed to say the word fart in her house and that was really hard when your dad is Clare Goering. Haha, so we were in time out a lot for talking or laughing about farts.
- I always loved putting up ornamens w her on the tree. Christmas time reminds me the most of grandma. She made Christmas fun and always about Christ.
Man there are so many memories. These memories make me so sad but so happy. I love you so much GG and you will never ever ever be forgotten.
