My grandmother passed away in the wee hours of the morning.
I, Anne Adele, was named after her, Jean Adele,
and my sister carried the name on to the third generation
by naming her daughter Adele.
Grandmum was a tender, loving woman with a love for
and an ear for music. She was an eloquent letter writer
and I like to think that I inherited
both her musical genes and way with words.
I could (and will!) fill a box with her letters,
and I will treasure them and read them fondly.
I am thankful that both of my daughters knew
their Great Grandmum
and that she had the pleasure of knowing and loving her
four children, nine grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren!
We love you, Grandmum!
