I remember Diana and I staying at your moms and doing our dances on the third floor above the store. Also when ever we all (maruzewski"s) visited she made up some mean green grasshoppers for the adults. I always wondered what was in the glass that was foamy green.Plus remember lots of picnics outside in the side lawn. God bless and keep all of you in my prayers! Christine lived a long wonderful life.
I have so many fond memories of Aunt Christine from childhood. The store was a fun place and I always felt welcome there; whether reading comic books, sampling whatever was broken or needed to go, or sorting bottles in the basement. The store was the lifeblood of that town and the added benefit of being a niece of Aunt Chris and Uncle Joe made it very special for me. New Years Eve was another special memory. Those were some fun parties! Your Mom was awesome!
I remember stopping at the store just about every day after school, since it was on the way home - I still like broken pretzels better than whole ones. Aunt Chris also hemmed my prom dress while visiting us in New Jersey; it was the nicest sewing I've ever seen. She sent Steve and I money-saving tips when we got married that were a hoot. She was a very special person and I have a lot of fond memories of her.
