My mother adored her job. She loved the people of stop n shop in farmingdale and was very proud to be in their family. When she would visit me in Selden, and went to my store, she made a point of flashing her employee card and stating where she worked an insisted on her discount. She engaged the cashiers in stories about sales and specials while I waited on the sidelines. She even made sure to tell one cashier that her store was better.  Hysterical. I'm going to miss her crazy antics.

Mommy would take me with her shopping to rockaway parkway almost everyday when I was a little girl ,unfortunately in the early 80s there where quite alot on homeless people roaming around .searching through garbage cans for food .I was scared of them and tried to walk far away from them.but mommy tough me not to avoid them and without fail everytime she saw a homeless person she would take me to the McDonald's there and order food and we would give it to them.
