97 years 11 months 23 days old.
Our Great-Grandma Conwell passed away yesterday morning. It was a long several years, her mind leaving us, her heart staying strong. We're thankful for the opportunity to have known her for so long, and to remember how much she loved us. The sweet letters she sent us when we moved away, and for letting us use her middle name for our business (Madeline).
We have to credit Grandma for the many ways we love to do stitching and sewing and crafting. She did those kinds of things for so many years, until she couldn't hardly see, even going to the lengths of crocheting throw rugs with plastic grocery sacks.
We love you, Grandma.
Much love from your kids,
Kristie, Apphia, Achaia, Abigail, and Abiah
PS We plan on traveling to Indiana for Grandma's funeral so things will be quiet and orders won't be processed until we get home.

So sorry for your loss. Please give Nan and Paps our love.

Such a wonderfully long life.....almost 98 years, I can't imagine what she had seen in this world , all the changes.
So wonderful that she could share her love of stitching and sewing.
