This was something I did For my grandmothers memory after she passed away.






She


She was a tall and elegant woman, strong in heart even when her heart wasn’t strong.

She held the family in the delicate strength of her arms, keeping us all together.

She could not be cured by doctors or medicine, and yet she remained an unyielding

force to protect what was rightfully her joy in life.

She will not know her grandbabies; it is now our job to make sure they know her.

When she left, she left pieces of herself with all of us,

so that we will always feel her love.

All these things she left for us, left in us, made us.

She was a Daughter, a Mother, a Grandmother, a Cook, a Planner, and Artist.

She will forever be missed and remembered.

In Loving Memory,

Corliss A. Marriott
