Locals remember grandparents (part 2)
Body
Ray Jordan reminisced about his maternal grandmother, Virginia Nealy: She made the best potato pie. In fact, everything she cooked was perfect. I do not recall ever getting a whipping from her. I had 13 brothers and sisters, and my grandmother lived just up the road some from us. My grandfather died when I was small, and all I can remember about him was him being sick. After he died, my oldest sister lived with my grandmother to keep her company and then, when that sister graduated, another one did. Then it was my turn. I was living with her and was at high school band practice when a cousin came to pick me up and inform me of her death. It was a horrible loss for me and for my family!
