There was always room for one more guest at her table, where she could magically turn a few meager items into a delicious feast.
With loving hands she created most of the garments her girls wore, everything from their coats to evening gowns. .
Though she never drove a car, she managed to take care of the affairs of raising a large family.
She adored her son-in-laws and considered them the "boys" she never had.
Though there were many grandchildren, Grandma Jamie's heart was large enough to make each one of them feel special.
