Every year on my birthday she would make me a banana cream pie. I remember when she turned 80 she said she could no longer make pies but for me she never failed. Maybe because I was her favorite grandchild (so I have been told many times by my siblings). There has been no other woman in my life like her.

They left favorite recipes that made good meals. Stories. They were the quiet mainstay of their families, giving strength to others. It is the reason I do our family tree. Much of what I am today is what I have been taught by my forebears amongst them strength in adversity. My grandmothers were amazing women. They left favorite recipes that made good meals. Stories.

In the days when women were not allowed to have public life, she left her home town, by herself, to go to America. Until I became an Ancestry Member, I didn't know any details of her life in USA. Now I know a lot more" where she lived, her grandchildren names and their offspring. I found a couple of second cousins with whoom I shared informations and photos. I grew up not having grandmothers in my every day life, but by learning who they were I feel I had never lost them. My grandmother, also alone and not knowing any English, at age 65 borded a ship and crossed the ocean to visit her mother's resting site. They were women of the Victorian days and yet independant.

She taught me a lot, and still does. She's a very happy woman still together with my grandfather.. There are so many i can say about my grandmother, i prefer not to write them down, they are kind of personal stories.. God Bless you, Grandma, i love you forever... My other grandmother is also a very caring woman. Both of you thank you for helping me building my family tree. My grandmother is a caring, loving, amazing woman, i love her to pieces.

I was one when she passed away on this very day - 24 years ago. She raised me since my mom was only 17, but had a stroke. I most likely would have lived with my grandmother for a while if she had lived says my mom. My mother doesn't talk about my mother very much; but I do know she was caring and one of those people who opened her heart and home to many people. Unsurprisingly, I'm studying social work now. :) Happy Dias de Los Muertos a todos abuelos. No me recuerdo mi abuela (not hispanic, but speak spanglish. lol).

If it was not for her and the resources that she had to show my 24 years ago, I dont think that I would be that interested in the research. I do wish tht I could let her know how many of our ancestors I have found for her, she would be so excited... I am sharing them with my aunt as she show the same kind of excitment that my grandmother did. She also was the caring grandmother who I went to every sunday for dinner, and she taught me how to crocet, she would be proud of how I have learned to read a pattern... :) I just want her to know that my life would not be the same with out the time I had with her before she left this world...
