The Legacy Lives On

Since we have a date for Grandma's memorial service, and it's not until the 5th, we have a extended the deadline for tributes until this Friday the 28th. We have to submit it to the printing place on Monday, and we need time to get it together. Also, if you have a picture you'd like to go on your page, please send that as well. Send it all to staciemknapp@gmail.com. Thanks for all your support! ~Love, Stacie

Today's post in our "Honoring Martha" series comes from Betty Ormsbee Northrup.

My granddaughter, Shanda, gave me the most amazing compliment the other day - she said when she remembers things about Grandma O. she thinks about me because we're so much alike. What better tribute could I get than that. Bonnie and Pat are the same type of grandmothers- so, the legacy lives on.

Mom loved so completely. If she knew you liked a certain food she made sure she had it for you. If she was in the store and saw some little thing that she thought you might like - she bought it. This is something that we 3  do for each other and our grandchildren all the time - so, the legacy lives on.

We daughters may not always agree with someone's thinking or life-style but we respect their right to it. We look for good in everyone and always find a silver-lining in the darkest cloud - so, the legacy lives on.

If we see someone in need or suffering through something we offer support and help - so, the legacy lives on.

We take pride in remembering where we came from and being thankful for all that God has given us - so, the legacy lives on.

This tribute is to the amazing woman Mom was because she LIVED what she believed. So, as each of you, young or older, travel through your lives - try practice just one of Mom's teachings everyday. Especially, loving God and making Him the integral part of your lives - the legacy will live on and the world will be a much better place.
