Grandmother
Thompson
1887-1962
I chose this background because of my Grandmother
Thompson's love for roses.� She had a beautiful rose�
garden that she enjoyed taking care of and sharing�
with others.� The above picture was taken when my�
grandmother was a student at "Normal College". �She
�� met my grandfather when he went to the
college������
to visit his sister.� Grandmother was always doing���
some needlework.� This is the grandmother who gave��
me the desire to learn to tat.� She helped me make����
a quilt when I was 12 years old. It was simple--just����
small squares sewn together, but I have the memories���
of the time we spent together.

Grandmother
Burke
1868-1954
This is my dad's
mom.� She is holding my dad who is age one
� in this picture.� He was born premature and weighed a little
over two pounds at birth.� Grandmother was afraid to feed
him because he was so small.� A neighbor came in and fed�
him and later in life you would never have guessed that he�
started out that small.� This grandmother was talented too.�
She made the outfit she is wearing and my dad's dress.� She�
������� did beautiful crocheting that you can see on
some of my other �����
pages.

Grandmother Byrd
1886-1982
This is my
husband's grandmother.� She is the only great
�� grandmother that was alive after our children were born.��
She lived out in the country and we didn't get there that
���� often, but the children loved her and have wonderful�
�� ����
� memories of going to her house.� She had a well and you�� �
� could draw a pail of the best water!� There was always� ��
�
�� biscuits baked on a wood stove.� Most of all was this wonder-
ful smile and pure love that she gave everyone.� I did a��
������� needlepoint that said "Love is Grandmother
Byrd". ������
