Story coming.
My 92 year old Grandmother just passed away. She was born in Germany back in 1927. She survived the war and met my American Military Grandfather towards the end of the war. They were married and then she moved to The United States, leaving behind everything she had ever known.
When she got to America she might have lived in the worst place for a young German woman to live. Cullman, Alabama. It wasn't easy, but then they moved down to Jefferson county. Everyone that knew her loved her. She was known in Center Point as the nice German lady that worked at TG&Y. She was one of the toughest and hardest working people I have ever known. That generation is truly the greatest generation. She had 3 kids and 4 grandchildren and numerous great and great great grandchildren. She'll be missed by every one of us.
She and my Grandfather lived down the road from me and my mom and they both helped raise me. I would stay with them while my mom was working and I would just hangout there a lot because I enjoyed their company.
Sorry for babbling guys, it's just easier for me to talk about things here than in person with folks.

Two girls from the Cobrasize "good luck" posts discover that he has noticed them. Natalie and Sofia arrested during a cat fight in a Tuscaloosa bar while attempting to garner his favor.

OK, Cobrasize's actual "Story" was better. Sorry for your loss.

Thank you. I sure could use those 2 women though

Can you post up some hot chicks in this thread so its less depressing?

We'll have a memorial good luck jib in a little bit. It would be awkward if folks saw me scrolling thru hot women before they even remove my grandmother's body Posted on 6/25/19 at 12:12 pm to Cobrasize

Now there's a store I haven't thought of in over 20 years.
Sorry for your loss man.

Sorry for your loss Cobra, sounds like your family lost a great one.
Posted on 6/25/19 at 12:21 pm to TideSaint
Thank you. If it wasn't for my grandmother, I would have forgotten all about those stores
It was a little shopping center and there was a TG&Y, Eckard drugstore, and a Radio Shack

Thank you, she was a really good person. I'm selfishly sad, but she had a good long life. She lived by herself and took care of herself until she had a major stroke 3 years ago. Things got progressively worse after that.

Sorry to hear buddy. I am old enough to remember TG&Y
Posted on 6/25/19 at 1:01 pm to Bear88
Thank you. TG&Y was always a fun place to go as a kid. Felt like they had everything to play with lol

Sorry about your grandmother. Side note: I thought Cullman was famous for historically having a german population? Or am I thinking of the wrong place?
Posted on 6/25/19 at 1:14 pm to Teague
Thank you. This was directly after the war, so the rednecks up there weren't very understanding. If there is a German population up there, she sure didn't run into them

Sorry for your loss. Your grandparents sound like amazing people. I bet they could really tell some stories.
Posted on 6/25/19 at 1:22 pm to Kk74
Thank you. They were great. They were both tough as hell and hard workers. I'm pretty sure it was just the mentality of that generation

Sorry for your loss, brother. I hope y'all can manage to celebrate her life and legacy while dealing your grief.
And Cullman, huh. I'm surprised the whole county didn't side with Germany during the WW2 (half-joking; I have a whole bunch of extended family scattered all around Smith Lake, Cullman, Jasper, etc).
