Cassie's friend from work, Larry, made this recipe using raspberries. He also made it using half strawberries and half rhubarb. He was a nice man always bringing treats to Cassie.

Personal Notes:
Cassie! Don't get all worked up about getting all the crust mixture into the super small crumbs. Just like peas or so. It is ok;-)

Cassie, the rhubarb does not have to be cut into identical sizes. Don't worry, just enjoy!!

Love you.

Grandma Phyllis had a tough outer shell but she sure showed her love by doing and giving. She could sew you a beautiful dress, make you the craftiest centerpiece, a delicious meal or dessert, knit, crochet, or sew you a very special blanket and much more.

Grandma had been very ill the year you graduated. She came home from the hospital the week of your graduation party. She insisted on making this dessert. She did indeed get this made and suffered a heart attack doing it. This dessert was the hit of your party. She truly loved through giving.
