Great Grandma was a treasure to behold. I am sorry I did not see this memorial book sooner, but it is fitting that I see it today, since I think of her often and I wore one of her necklaces she made for the first time yesterday. I was so proud to wear it, representing a person who had a wonderful heart and was very loving to both of my children, Stewart & Corinna. I spoke yesterday to a co-worker of the times when my kids were toddlers and I spent Friday mornings with Great Grandma & Grandpa eating breakfast & leaving the kids for the day with them, until I returned after work. We would eat a Friday night dinner, visit a while and the three of us would return home, you see Everett Great Grandma’s grandson & my husband was working 2nd shift. The children fondly remember the times when Grandpa would play some music and dance with Corinna in the living room and Great Grandma would read stories to Stewart. I think they were 3 & 4 years old at the time. We miss her.
We know Mrs. Brown will be missed very much. Jesus Christ promised “The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will come out.”John5:28,29
