Hard working church going woman who never drank or smoked. As a young girl, she lost her hair due to scarlet fever, and promised God that if it returned, she would never again cut it. She kept that promise for 50 years, and it touched the floor. My grandmother was one of the finest creatures to walk this earth. When she played "How Great Thou Art" on the piano, the room fell silent.
