She was a feisty woman. She was a clown. She made everyone laugh. Everyone loved to be around her.

My grandmother was a feisty woman. That's probably the best way to describe her. She was still delivering newspapers at 79 years old. She was a very generous person. She did a lot of things for a lot of people. This is shocking to our family and shocking to her friends.

Laugh, clown, laugh. This is what I tell myself whenever I dress up like Bozo.

It all happened very fast. In 10 minutes, the whole thing was gone.

This is how close we were.

Making my class laugh and getting in trouble. I was the class clown.
