When most ladies were at home, in charge of the household, looking after babies...she, a high school graduate, was being trained as a nurse, but performing work as a doctor...she had already bought her own car and started her own mid-wife business...she really is a woman beyond her time...
Although her formal education ended at high school, she never ceased to learn...and became so much wiser than so many of us...perhaps getting older, really makes one wiser...(although I believe this may not be the case all the time!)
At her wake, my aunt said that she woke at dawn everyday to pray for others and to read the Bible for 2 hours...no wonder she was so wise! At her wake, so many friends came, and were willing to remain standing as there were insufficient seats...so many friends were crying together with us, her descendants....she really is an amazing woman!
Although she was in pain, during these last months, she continued to encourage others...at her wake, so many people were full of praises for her, and were glad to have a part of her, through her gifts of quiltwork....
My grandmother, is now with the Lord, and I hope that I would grow to be half as wise as her one day...and that I would touch as many lives....
