Daisy will be missed, but certainly not forgotten. So much

of my life is a reflection of my grandmother. She loved her "English Country

Garden" I have an ever-expanding perrenial flower garden, edged with

fieldstone, just like hers. There is no real order to either of our gardens,

just a rambling collage of Lilies, Sweet William. Daisies, Roses, Violets,

Pansies, and of course, English Lavender. I still have some

"Mother-hen-and-baby-chicks" that were transplanted from Grandma's garden in

Lapeer when I was a little girl.

Daisy preferred the simple life, complete with home remedies, and

herbal teas. My pantry is filled with home-raised foods, thanks to Alan's

farming background.

Grandma was an able musician, and lover of old-time "blue-grass" music.

I feel her presence every time I pick up my guitar, or lay a hammer on my

dulcimer, or harmonize to some old gospel hymn.

She is so much in me, it will be difficult to imagine that she is

really gone, I do not live near her, so we have been more spiritually

connected than physically connected for many years.

Uncle Billy was Grandma's primary care-giver. He is going to feel the

void more intensely than any of us. My heart breaks for him, but I celebrate

my grandmother's triumph over a very difficult childhood.

Thanks to you and your sister, we were able to reunite my grandma with

her father in a way we never thought possible. I celebrate she lived long

enough for some closure. I regret that I could not narrow done Beatrice's

family intime for Grandma, but I will continue the search, and as a child

said to me in school today,

"Now your grandma can finally see her mom and dad again." Children see

things so clearly, they humble me daily.
