The funeral was nice. David's sister Lynn and brother Mark came in from Ohio, so it has been so nice visiting with them.
When she reached 100 last year, she became a member of the "100 club" and received a certificate from the governor and a letter from President Bush. She even had an article written about her in the newspaper.
One of her favorite things to do was to get her hair done. She used to go weekly, and it was something she loved and looked forward to. She had been going to the same woman for over 20 years named Maddie. And sweet Maddie came and did her hair for the viewing. That was very special.
Gma went back to school at the age of 50 and became a teacher. She then taught for 10 more years. When the article was written about her turning 100, she received a letter from a former 1st grade student, that had her as a teacher in 1965. She said she loved having her as a teacher and became a teacher herself.
She will be missed!

Wow ... 100 years old! I love hearing stories like that. I hope our Grandma lives to be 200. I love a good grandma.

I have been waiting for you to post. I had a feeling you were working on something new - welcome. It looks darling!
David's grandma sounds like a gem. What a nice tribute. I can't believe she was 100! That is awesome.
