Our children were only 16, 13, and 9 so they really missed out on knowing this sweet lady.
After she passed, Dale's dad asked us girls (daughters-in-law) if any of us would like to have any of her clothes.
Dad was very generous to his sweet wife and always bought her the best - especially in her later years when she got so tiny after all of the strokes.
I chose several of her items since no one else wanted them, then I very lovingly remade the skirts and dresses into little jumpers for the first born grand daughter to each of her boys. I think I made 5 total so that each of our kids would get one for their little girls.
When Lily was born 3 years ago, I gifted one of these jumpers to her along with a letter explaining the story behind it. Lily is now finally able to fit into it. By the looks of it, she will be wearing it for a while! Lily is such a little peanut.
Lily is not only wearing her great grandma's jumper, she also carries her name. Lilyanna KATHERINE!
Great grandma Katherine would be so proud of all these sweet souls!
Thanks for stopping by today!
