Cosmo's Food for Thought

This post is a tribute to my Mom, Grace.  She was an amazing Wife, Sister, Aunt, Friend and Mom.  She died this past Friday @ Loretto where she resided for the past few years due to Alzheimer's.  She was 89 but could have passed for 65.  She was one hard working lady.  In her last years before she developed this horrible disease, she would travel across the country and back riding shotgun as my Dad drove his 18 wheeler.  She also helped me in the fruit stand I had in Pulaski, the restaurant in Sherrill, my brothers fruit stand in N. Syracuse and many other ventures.  This is only a small part of where she worked, but the point is she always was willing to pitch in anytime or place that we needed help.  When my brother Jimmy ran his dream business (the pool hall in Liverpool) Mom was right there making her meatballs & sauce for lunch to be served to the many customers.  She never complained or expected anything in return, for after all this was, Family! These were her Boys &am
