Thank you for sharing this tribute. My maternal Grandma's name was Lizzie and I cherish the memories I have of her.

It's sobering to consider what I've been given. Writing this piece also felt like a gift to me. As I roamed through my memories trying to select the ones I wanted to share, I learned so much about my Grandmas. It's incredible what time alone can teach us.

Well, great! It always delights me to make someone laugh. I'll even settle for a smile or chuckle. It's probably very easy for you to imagine me sitting on my mom's counter and running my mouth. =P
