Aunt Grace

Aunt Grace is my great-aunt through my Grandmother Quillin.  I never thought about the age difference.  She was born in the early 1900's.  She never appeared that much older to me.  She was engaged and knew current events.  She was intelligent, too, and full of wisdom.


Aunt Grace was a real sweetheart and would often love on me, when I was a kid.  Her two kids, David and Rosalind, would, too.


Since we had minimal contact with Mother's family prior to my parent's divorce, about the only people I knew were Grandmother Quillin's family.  David and Rosalind were always the best in the few pages of my life's book.  They were beautiful, fun, happy, and always made me feel special with their attention.


Aunt Grace's health was always fragile but she still had an inner strength that must have come from the Lord.  She was bedridden the last few years of her life.  My last memory of her is very sweet.  She loved me quite a bit.


Aunt Grace would often put a scripture in her correspondence with David and Rosalind.  Rosalind said that scripture over me today.  What a heritage!  A little family history was passed down today!


Numbers 6
24  "The Lord bless you and keep you;
25  The Lord make His face shine upon you,
              And be gracious to you;
26  The Lord lift up His countenance upon you
             And give you peace.


I am blessed to have cousins who love me as they do.
