The Wisdom of Grandma

February 10, 2017 By Deanna Piercy 6 Comments

If we are fortunate there will be someone in our life who provides an example of a life well-lived. For me, that person was Grandma. I grew up next door to my grandparents and spent much of my childhood in their home. I continued to spend a lot of time with Grandma until she died…
