This weekend my maternal grandmother passed away 4 days before her 92 birthday. This picture take years ago, was the only proper picture I felt grandma would approve. Grandma was very proper. She held fast to traditional of etiquette that today have fallen by the wayside. She is the reason I still write and mail, not email, thank you notes. She always used a napkin, knew which side of the plate the wine glass went on, always matched her purse with her shoes and never, ever wore white after labor day. She always had a smile and a hug for me. For years she mailed me Cathy Comics from her weekly paper, just because I'd asked. I never heard her speak poorly of another. She was not one to enter into conflict, in fact I think she avoided it at all costs. She raised 5 kids, took care of her husband and her mother for years. She may not have been the best cook but the one thing I could count on at grandma's was that she would have Chocolate! She was loved and adored by her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your grandma, she sounds like she taught you lots of etiquette and would have been such a wonderful grandma for a girl to have.
(Writing thank you letters is such a lost art, isn't it? )
Wonderful tribute to your grandmother, my sweet aunt. Now that you mentioned it, I never did see her in while after Labor Day. And she always sent birthday cards. She was dearly loved and our world is a little less without her.
