I will be spending time with family for the next couple of days honoring this fine lady known as my grandmother. Born in 1916 she lived through so much history and set a wonderful example for all of us to follow.
I wrote a bit about her life, just a few months ago. You can read about it here.

Our dear Bird will truly be missed.
Never knowing either of my grandmothers as they died young, I am so glad for you, Michelle, that you got to know your dear grandmother. She sounds like a grandmother I would dearly have loved to have known. You were blessed with her.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your loss. {{{hug}}}
ReplyDeleteI read the birthday tribute. What a beautiful lady!! I'm sure her presence will be missed. My sympathy goes out to you and the family. I'm sure the celebration of her life will be one that includes lots of laughter as well as tears. God bless you and the family.
ReplyDeleteoh i am so sorry...i remember the post about your grandma a while back..it was a very enjoyable post...may you find joy and peace with your family members as you spend time remembering your grandma...hugs...
ReplyDeleteMorning Michelle.
ReplyDeletesorry to hear of your loss. How blessed you are to have had such a loving grandmother to set a Godly example for her family. My grandmother died at an early age (44) as well as my grandfather. I do remember my other grandparents, but due to life circumstances, I did not see them very often...
Thinking of your family at this time and saying a prayer that you all will find peace as you wrap yourselves in her memories.

ReplyDeleteAh, aren't Grandmas just the best? And such a sweet coincidence -- such sweet music "Ashokan Farewell" playing while I read about your dear Granny.
ReplyDeleteYour love will certainly negate time and distance.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for your loss. I adored my nana (mom's mom). The memories in your heart will keep her with you forever! Take care.
ReplyDeleteI'm approaching the 20th anniversary of my father's death (1917-1992), so this, plus that gorgeous fiddle, plus the season--I hear you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a long life your grandmother had. And the thoughts that she has a loving family made her life rich. -- barbara
ReplyDeleteMy condolences, Michelle. I'll bet 'Bird' had a heart of gold. She sure has seen many changes in the world - not all of them necessarily good.

You are in my thoughts.
