So many wondeful memories of Grandma, doing her hair with the vacuum dryer thing, using the spirograph at her house, the cool cupboard in her kitchen…..her smile and most of all her simple joy in everyday life, it’s a lesson for me….thank you Grandma for your love of family trees, no one else will listen to me, but you loved to talk about it, I will look forward to the day when we meet again in the Lord’s presence….
