~~~PERSONAL NOTE~~~
THE STEPHENS FAMILY ALWAYS HAD A LARGE FAMILY REUNION IN THE SUMMER-TIME. THERE WERE ALWAYS A LOT OF FAMILY AND A LOT OF GOOD FOOD. OUR WHOLE FAMILY ALWAYS ENJOYED THOSE REUNIONS.
GRANDMA STEPHENS WAS ALMOST BLIND WHEN I MARRIED INTO THE FAMILY. SHE USED A CANE TO GET ABOUT. HER HUSBAND WAS DECEASED BEFORE I CAME INTO THE FAMILY, SO I NEVER KNEW HIM.
I REMEMBER HER FAVORITE FOOD WAS A SANDWICH MADE WITH "PRESS MEAT". WHEN WE VISITED, SHE ALWAYS WANTED ME TO FIX HER THE FAVORITE SANDWICH. AT THE TIME I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT "PRESS MEAT" WAS, BUT, NOT EATING A LOT OF MEAT MYSELF, I NEVER TASTED IT. THANK GOD! I LATER FOUND OUT IT WAS "PIG BRAINS"? HOW GROSS IS THAT? SHE ALWAYS WANTED LOTS OF MAYONNAISE ON IT TOO:-)
GRANDMA STEPHENS, AS ALL THE GRANDCHILDREN CALLED HER, WAS A VERY SWEET AND LOVING PERSON. AFTER HER DEATH THE STEPHENS FAMILY REUNIONS STOPPED.
I WISH THEY HAD OF CONTINUED ON, BUT GUESS IT WAS TOO HARD FOR HER CHILDREN TO HAVE THEM AFTER HER DEATH.

~~~A POEM FOR GRANDMA STEPHENS~~~

THERE'S MAGIC IN A GRANDMOTHER'S TOUCH
AND SUNSHINE IN HER SMILE,
THERE'S LOVE IN EVERYTHING SHE DOES,
TO MAKE OUR LIVES WORTHWHILE.

WE CAN FIND BOTH HOPE AND COURAGE,
JUST BY LOOKING IN HER EYES.
HER LAUGHTER IS A SOURCE OF JOY,
HER WORDS ARE WARM AND WISE.

THERE IS A KINDNESS AND COMPASSION,
TO BE FOUND IN HER EMBRACE.
AND WE SEE THE LIGHT OF HEAVEN,
SHINING FROM A GRANDMOTHER'S FACE.
