Grandmother Baird always said that our memories are coins that we keep in the purse that is our hearts and we can spend those coins to relive a joyful moment when we are feeling blue. Our memories are the only treasure we carry with us when it is our turn, and our name is called from above. - She passed last October. When you call my name, know that I will hear you. She was 101.
