Remembering my maternal grandma . . . and the Mother my Mom never knew . . .
"I'd like to add some beauty to life," said Anne dreamily. "I don't exactly want to make people KNOW more . . . though I know that IS the noblest ambition . . . but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me . . . to have some little joy or happy thought that would never have existed if I hadn't been born." — L.M. Montgomery
Elizabeth, I sure am glad you were born . . . because of your birth . . . and the gift of life you gave my Mom . . . I've been blessed with the very best Mother I could have ever dreamed of . . . with love & gratitude . . . from your granddaughter . . .
Elizabeth Marilla Henry nee Smith . . . born 5th October 1912 in Biddeford, Maine . . . died 3rd February 1932 in Lynn, Massachusetts . . .

Beautiful tribute as always Vickie, she made all the difference in the world, there is you along with your very special mom.
The name Marilla always makes me think of "Anne of Green Gables", too! There are a few Marillas sprinkled throughout my research.
A beautiful post with the most wonderful words...
What a great tribute. I'd love to hear more about Elizabeth.
Regards, Jim
