Rose Pesce (our GigaGram) passed away quietly in her sleep on June 7, 2008, surrounded by her family. She was born July 8, 1920 in New York City. This website continues as a memorial to her. She knew it existed because we mentioned it to her a couple of times, but she was never much of an Internet person, so she never actually visited it (or checked her email, for that matter.)
Her formerly-youngest daughter thought it would be a very funny domain name to own, so I grabbed it a few years ago. (Her youngest and favorite daughter is Flower, pictured in the center above.) Other than reserving it, nobody had any idea what to actually do with it.
It occurred to me (finally) that this would be a good place for a photo album (instead of the really boring placeholder site that was here), so I've started adding all the photos I can find from the various hard drives around here, which document much of the past seven years or so (as of July 2007, anyway.) We'll add more soon.
If you have any GigaGram-related photos you would like to share with the world, please email them to me (admin 'at' gigagram.com) and I'll get them posted.
The recipe section is copied from her son Andrew's original Word documents which we've had for a while, so any corrections or clarifications are welcome!
The stories section is for anything you would like to share - just email them in, and I'll post them. If you don't want credit, let me know and you can be anonymous. (I'm sure most of the stories will deal with someone getting injured in a very funny way.)
If you want your own gigagram.com email address (who wouldn't?), just drop me a note and I'll see what I can do.

What if GigaGram were an M&M?
