Even to this day, some 43 years since I last saw her (I was 22 then and I'm now 66 years old), she is a tremendous and wonderful influence and inspiration. I have told stories of my experiences with her many many times. In fact, in the type of work I do in leadership development, I use specific lessons learned from her. It was wonderful to find this site and the background information about her life. Some of it I knew (working at Studebaker and then the Christian Scientist reading room; that she was never married). But there is a joy in learning more of her rich history. I remember she had nephews that would come visit occasionally. I think they were from Three Rivers, MI? I would love to chat with anyone from her family and share my stories to keep her memory alive!

What a neat lady she was. Thinking of all those packages wrapped in white tissue paper still makes me smile! I wonder if she ever realized how much she touched our lives?

My vote is also that the girl on the left is Ruby - they have similar chin shapes and the set of eyes seems much the same. <BR/><BR/>Apple, right now I'm feeling as if know you a little better because you chose to write about Ruby. That's because in my family we've also tried to research, honor and remember those who didn't have descendants of the body, because they did leave descendants of the heart and spirit. Thank you for this story.<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-33694746190959612002007-03-08T13:27:00.000-05:002007-03-08T13:27:00.000-05:00How delightful.

I think that's one of the important roles as a family historian: to make sure that those collateral relatives who had no issue be honored and remembered in some way, because as your story illustrates, many of them had a great impact on the lives of others within the family.Miriam Robbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12021845886261585678noreply@blogger.com
