Thank you for remembering them and the great photo. I miss Grandma terribly. What a force in this world.

Lovely to read about your parents. I feel very fortunate to have been neighbors while I was living in DeKalb, Illinois. Thanks, also, for mentioning Harriet's birthdate; for some reason I had it in my mind that it was later in the month. She and I share the same "sign" - Cancer the crab. I often wear the medallion she gave me, especially in July.
