a legacy to celebrate about

Have you ever known someone that has inspired many people in their lifetime? I most certainly can say I have known a couple of those people in my lifetime so far, they tend to be few and far between it seems. One that comes to mind today is a lady that I have the upmost respect for and love her ever so much! We got to celebrate 90 years of her life this past weekend. Who is this lady you may ask? Its my husbands grandmother, we all call her Grammy. I remember when I first met her she was introduced to me as Mrs. Hillmer, I think about after the second time of calling her that she said,"Please, Please, Call me Grammy!" It was so sweet, and that is just it. She is a wonderful lady who has the sweetest spirit about her and I just love calling her Grammy! She is a woman of great integrity and has a love for the Lord that is next to none other, that I have ever known! She has lived a life that is God honoring and has lead her family through many trials, many of which I'm sure I dont even know about! Her faith is an inspiration to me! She has faced difficult times this last year and I have seen her in some of the worst of those times but she still had her faith that God would carry her through, and as much as she wanted to be with Him instead of here, she perservered and continued to live as an example to those around her. Her strength amazes me. She is one of the most beautiful women I know both inside and out! I have never seen a 90 year old woman with such class and beauty as Grammy, not sure I have seen a younger woman with as much class and beauty as her either! Needless to say she is just an all around wonderful God-fearing woman that I respect! Happy 90th Birthday Grammy! I Love you!
