Her 98th birthday is with the Lord

Grandma would have turned 98 today.

Here are some notes I took from our phone calls over the years:

She loved going to Grandma Ferns house for Thanksgiving. 
She talked about exploring the hills when she was a little girl, as Bob and I did when we were kids. 
She would sleep in bed with her folks, who didn't bother with a cradle. 
She said her dad only had a fifth grade education, but he kept learning his whole life and would teach the kids all sorts of things. 
She said that her grandfather died and left Great-Great Grandma Amelia Ferns alone to raise their children.  She never remarried.


I imagine the angels are celebrating her birth today. I'm absolutely certain there's a lot of music involved.
