Algenia Toni Vajda


My grandma taught me how to cut my eggs. She taught me how to fish. She taught me children's bible stories. She made the best pineapple upside down cake and german chocolate cake. She really was an amazing cook in her day. She gave me my first cookbook when I was 18 years old. Her favorite color was green and she was a big fan of Eddie Arnold. She loved the song "Amazing Grace". She was strong willed, very opinionated and stubborn and she didn't hesitate to tell you what she thought. She always cracked herself up and had this great laugh. She madly loved her husband and would do anything for her family if you asked for her help. I spoke to her a few days ago on the phone and she was chatty and laughed a little. I told her I loved her and she said she loved me too. She was a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a grandmother and a great grandmother. Her time here on earth has ended and now her journey continues on the other side. I know she is with granddaddy and her parents and they will show her the way. I do love her and I will miss her and I look forward to seeing her again some day.
