So today is a sad day as I have lost someone I love dearly. Maw Maw Gertie. She is my x-husband's grandmother and great grandmother to my children D'nea and Brandon. She is and always will be my Maw Maw Gertie whom I have know for over 30 years and could not love her more if we were blood related. I have such fond memories of her. I am hoping to find some photos and make a mini scrapbook about her. She was 96 years old and lived a very productive life. I use to spend summers with her picking and canning vegetables. It was nothing for us to get 20 dozen ears of corn in the morning, cut all the corn off the cobs, cook it and bag it and be done by 3PM. She could work circles around me and she taught me so much about life. I can still see her in the kitchen over the stove cooking something, she never turned anyone away for a meal. She will be missed but her legacy will live on through her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren (17) and her 3 great-great grandchildren and by all the lives she touched. God now as another angel in heaven and I look forward to seeing her again one day with Paw Paw Tommy.
I LOVE you Maw Maw now and forever.
Here is a picture of her at D'nea's Wedding Reception.
