Though found today, Grandma, you were never lost.

You are a mother of many: at least four generations grow forth from you now. And your likeness is birthed again and again through the stories of your children--retellings of an unusual life lived by an extraordinary woman.

How I wish I remembered you, your brief time with us when so much was new. I am grateful for the path you paved ahead of me. 

May God continue to bless you, may He continue to bless your progeny.
