    My father, Joe Hyder, was always teasing and joking with Mrs Garrett. He would often reger to her as Granny. Being very young when I first heard this, I too started calling her Granny. I Visited last with her in June a couple of days before my Mom passed. Mom, Catherine Hyder, was in the room across the hall. They will be missed so very much.
