MATRIARCH

I had lunch with Grandma today.  She has been such a blessing to many.  She is tired a lot but she still enjoys phone calls, visitors, listening to Indians baseball, Tennessee Ernie Ford, The Survivors, the warm fireplace, getting her hair done, listening to books on cd, and when it’s warmer, listening to the birds.

I love her very much and I know I speak for many.
