It is 2014 and found one of her paintings at an antique shop in Idyllwild, Cal. Proprietor was a former neighbor of hers. Fell in love with her work and wished I knew where there was more to be seen.

I was just thinking about Grandma Elizabeth and all the wonderful memories of her. My Mom (who passed away 12/28/06) was Ashford Sampson’s daughter from a previous marriage. I miss all of them dearly.
