Thanks all..

and yeah Hoosier. can kinda relate. my dads mother died before i was born (few months i think... maybe a year). have only heard storys about her, and its a shame i never got to meet her.. the story im told the most is how she died in the hospital and when they brought her back.. she told my aunt and dad "Read the paper tomorrow.. theres going to be a plane crash" Tomorrow came, Plane crash... and 2 deaths, the second one would be on the way to the hospital.. my mom was in the back with her and my grandma said "Tell Daniel.. im sorry i never met him" mom replied "Your going to meet him. dont worry about it" Grandma "no.. this is my last ride"

my second grandma.. from what my parents said i've met her a few times. but i dont remember because she died when i was four.

Still have my step grandma though which i've known since i was born

Daniel -

Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your dear G-grandmother.

Wow! She lived to be 98 years old. That's amazing! You may not think you know much about her, but you probably know more than you think. She lived through WWI as a young girl, gained the right to vote as soon as she came of age unlike her mother before her. She lived through the stock market crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed. She was probably a young mother when this country entered WWII and lived through rationing, trying to make ends meet while sacrificing for the war effort. Then, she lived through the great prosperity years that followed and lived to watch man walk on the moon. She lived to see the great technological developments that we take for granted today. She entered life at the beginning of the last century and left this world at the beginning of this one. And, she raised a family - children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren - including you!

I'm sure that if you asked one of your folks, they could tell you more details about her, about her life, what she loved, and how she lived. Yes, she probably had a name other than "Maw" but that's how you knew her and what you called her. May Maw rest in peace and may you always remember her.

Hugs to you, Daniel.

Ditto here!

I love to hear the stories of our grandparents' days that we didnt have all these modern technology and war stories from veterans. (that is, if they are receptive to share stories).
