This is the shape she always made. But once the dough is rolled out there are lots of ways to shape it. The difference in her recipe from others I've made is the double rise and no salt. I thought that might have been a mistake but leaving it out I think makes them extra tender.

Oh if you can recreate her recipes wouldn't that be wonderful? Such memories come from childhood foods. After my first disaster with the rolls I swear I felt her spirit beside me, encouraging me to keep trying. I think that's why I didn't give up. Be sure to write down everything as you go along! Memories can be tricky and once you perfect her recipes you'll be glad to have them written down.
