We were immigrant peasants of a feather, Gizzi & I.
Like my parents, I build or renovate houses & I'm always 'building infrastructure to invest in myself'. Using hand milled lumber from my 80yr. old garage which caved in during a freak NS winter, I built a henhouse. Got hens, sold eggs to an eatery & an elder-home. I had my flock trained to many words & commands, even from deep in my woods & Gizzi had to hear about the pleasure of those witnessing antics I'd elicit. So she tells me about living in a city & raising up chicks under her table! Soon realized that the ammonia smell & lack of space was going to get her found out, into trouble. We had such a laugh. What was her mom thinking gifting chicks!

A decade ago I finally got to meet the infamous Gizzike of whom my mother spoke often. From then on uncle Jimmy & she called often. I am not fond of using a phone, rarely do, because I'm hard of hearing. And because for me every daylight hour is too precious. Then in the evenings people who watch tv don't call, which suits me just fine, I read. Not near my landline.
Gizzi would call to say that they were leaving for Pancake Bay. Or had just returned. Or to tell what had occurred. All those months I had been thinking, what is this obsession with pancake day? To drive distances to eat pancakes...not even Palacsinta! More than a year later I learned from Linda that it was a place, not an event, a Bay, not a day. Gizzi must have wondered why I rarely asked much about the trip since in my mind, what can one ask about pancakes? I was relieved because I had been concerned about them eating all those carbs so often! That's for athletes, not sedatary folks. Inadvertently though I learned about dear friends June & Gerry; already knew about Sharon & J. R. whom I later met along w. another few important people in the lives of Jimmy & Gizzi. Don't regret those conversations at all since it gave me peace of mind to know that they had such amazingly kind, attentive & fun people in their familial circle. She told me herself that she valued highly their acceptance of her, an accent sometimes being a barrier to relationship building.

What will I do now without Gizzy to correct my Magyar or to tell me all of the ways that my parents were cheap years after they had no need to be? She was not one to pull punches & in that, one always knew where you stood with her. A woman after my own heart. Sad that I had known her for only a short time. Her kindness & generosity was noteworthy, while her talent with her hands knew no bounds. So many reasons that she will be missed by so many whoes lives she touched. She took with her a lot of love.
