Coincidentally, she was born 2 days after yours! I guess great people arrive in February?! :) I wish my Gram was still with me. I hope you'll write your book soon.

I am part of an amazing company that has a passion for sharing and preserving stories like these. When I hear of people who have learned so much from those who have gone before, it makes me smile at the treasures they have. Our passion is for preserving pictures and making fun ways to display them - they all have stories to tell! Take a look (www.storiesbyme.com or our blog www.storiesbymeblog.blogspot.com) Perhaps we can help in giving life to the stories you have to tell!sunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13565790202802581408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-11326285503378859992009-02-27T19:49:00.000-05:002009-02-27T19:49:00.000-05:00What a wonderful woman and a wonderful treasure! ...What a wonderful woman and a wonderful treasure!

She seems like a trailblazer in so many ways, and your posts about both of your grandparents leave me wanting to know so much more about their histories and their lives.

She had just those same type of qualities: strong, brilliant, creative, worldly and independent. I remember being 11, and thinking "I can't wait to be old and be just like her." She also married a poor, but wonderful man (my grandpop), who worshipped the ground she walked on until they both died. I miss them both so much, and so appreciate your words of love today for one incredible grandmom, and for the memories of another.<BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday, Bev!Shoshana Tovahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01875442034830567316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-25853665181636244662009-02-20T07:18:00.000-05:002009-02-20T07:18:00.000-05:00This is such an amazing post!

Your grandmother, your mother, you and your daughter are all so beautiful and such special, creative, inspirational and strong females. So much wonderful material for a book. <BR/>I never met either of my grandmothers , both having passed away before I was born and every week I tell my children just how fortunate they are to have relationships with their grandmothers.
