The Life and Times of MawMaw Shirley Falgout

Bart's grandmother, Shirley Falgout, AKA MawMaw, or Miss MawMaw to me, passed away Monday, Dec. 10, 2007.
Although I had three grandmothers of my own(two now), Miss MawMaw was still somebody special for me. I was so happy that I was able to get to know her better as I took her to her monthly cumadin checks a few years ago. After we went to the doctor for that, we'd almost always go to Wal-Mart, so MawMaw could get "just a few things", which sometimes turned into a very full basket and a very long morning, but that was okay. Brennan's favorite part of those times with her, I think, was when she sent him home with a bag of grapes, cut in half, just for him.
Miss MawMaw was an excellent cook, as are all of her daughters, from what I can tell. She made roast and gravy that was amazing. I can see why Amy would eat it all. If I hadn't had better home training, I might have eaten it all, too!

She was the mother to ten children, and grandmother and great grandmother to a ton more. She had enough love for that many people, though, so she was perfect for the job.
So, we are all going to miss Miss MawMaw, but I know she is happy, reunited with her husband, PawPaw, and two of her children, Glenda and Jay. I know she's still going to keep an eye on us, though, so we better not start slacking off, but stay united as a family, strong and proud.
