RIP Arlene Frances Wedge 1918 - 2008

[emchy]

She was tough, feisty, crafty and pretty bad ass - though she would pinch my arm for swearing like that.
She grew up in the Upper Penninsula and raised her kids in North Detroit.
She laughed hard, liked her toast burned and her coffee black.
and if you beat her at cards - enjoy it because it didn't happen very often.

She quilted every one of her grandkids a gorgeous heirloom handmade quilt.
She taught me to crochet , cross stitch and took me to see The Color Purple.

She was my Gram and though we lost her to alzheimers years ago it's still hard to let go.
My heart right now is stitched together with memories of her and the kindness of the people who love me.

She will be laid next to the love of her life - Melburn Wheeler Wedge.

He's been waiting 25+ years for her to join him for that next cribbage game.
