Heritage

Just realized I will be gone before my family realizes HOW MUCH I LOVE them if I don't make time to share my gratitude and memories.. priceless heritage!

Memories become priceless heritage only if they are shared. Our eight children are grown, some married and now raising their own families, some single; all busily engaged in a good cause. By sharing not only my memories but also those of family and friends, we become more than a cluster of individuals. We become a family committed to sharing the good life, which is the best life after all.

All families have memories of shared meals and time together. Thelma Ruth Wylie Brown was my paternal grandmother.  While I have many fond memories of my Great-Grandmother Bertha Hardy Wylie and Grandmother Thelma Ruth Wylie Brown, none of my children met their Great-Great-Grandmother Bertha and most of my children never met their Great-Grandmother Ruth. These women, who were both "Grandma" to me, share a treasured place in my memory. We are never too young to learn and never too old to change. Record your priceless heritage, today! Here's a wonderful memory for our family to share entitled "Nicknames" written by my cousin
Avis Shreve.
