Your grandmother s...Ahhh this was so very touching. Your grandmother sounded like quite a woman. She is reflected in you through your writing, your love for your children and family. <br><<<In her eyes, I always looked great; I'll miss that reflection of myself. >>> <br>Isn't it amazing to have some like her in your life that always was able to see you that way? EVERYONE should have someone like that. All too often I hear parents, relatives, or even employers criticizing the heck out of someone in the name of "helping them" or "Just pointing out their faults so they can be corrected." We all need a Gertrude who'll just see the beauty in us and help it shine through. <br><br><<<Instead we'd shop at Butler Square, St. Anthony's Walk, Northtown or Target>>> Oh I know these spots.<br><br>What a beautiful eulogy, no wonder you couldn’t read it at the funeral, it was so filled with love and memories. Your uncle must have really had to control himself.<br><br>When my mom died and again two years later when my aunt, mom's sister, died I was asked to write and read a eulogy for them. The only thing I can say was that the Creator must have been there reading it with me because now I can't read those without breaking into tears. <br><br>Thanks for sharing this very personal and touching story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-963514004126046012005-07-06T13:15:00.000-07:002005-07-06T13:15:00.000-07:00fabulous.-Paulfabulous.<br>-PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-18957924853092379652005-07-09T13:21:00.000-07:002005-07-09T13:21:00.000-07:00This was a wonderful tribute! beautifulRebeccaThis was a wonderful tribute! beautiful<br>Rebecca<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-42358222638791883312005-07-09T20:46:00.000-07:002005-07-09T20:46:00.000-07:00It's wonderful to have such memories...I have ...It's wonderful to have such memories...I have similiar ones that I hold dear and I too have written about them.
