Recently, Grams went to be with her Saviour (and mine! - so I rejoice that I will see her again soon). I was in the States to attend her memorial service, and I'd like to honour her by sharing a few photographs with you of this amazing woman.
(Naturally, I didn't take any of these, except the last one!)
She was an airline stewardess...
...a beautiful airline stewardess!!...(this is the photo she sent my grandfather while they were writing letters. Needless to say, he sent back a wedding ring.)
She was a nurse...
...the wife of another amazing person, the irrepressible Bill Mulligan...
...and an example and encouragement to me.
I am missing her today.

Wow -- such beautiful pictures of your Grandmother!!! Did you ever read Cherry Ames' books when you were little? She was a nurse and they were all nurse stories and she looked like those pictures of your grandmother.
i miss Grandma too. :-(
Thanks for that lovely collection of pics, sis.
Thanks Dee...yes, I was going to add Heather's birthday too, but then I could get really carried away, so thought I would keep it simple! ;) Heather, i did read those books! I hadn't thought about it but I think you're right! Grams was known as 'Mary Sunshine' by those she served in the hospital :)
What a beautiful woman she was!
