LOVE THIS!! and love that u wrote down what u remember about Mamie (her “legacy” great word!) and put it in a drawer for ur kids!! (Great idea from Karen Hurst to decoupage it too!) while reading, I had a flash.... I HAD A MAMIE! um... I think. And if so, I sure wish someone wrote about her and left it somewhere for me to read (maybe they did,I had to text my mom and my dad to see if this is a real memory or not. Lol. Awaiting the conclusion as we speak.
So not only thanks for the inspiration (awesome job!) but thanks for jogging my memory... in turn, my moms, and hopefully my dads. (Turns out, it was my dads moms sister (says my mom. And that sounds familiar), hopefully when he gets back to me he’ll have a story to tell about her) I’m hoping like the ripple effect. You don’t even know... thank u! 😘

Thank you so much. I love that you shared your memory spark. I always try to write the history on family pieces for kids and grandkids. I tell them if they don’t want any of the pieces to please pass them along to their cousins.
