About Me
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Dearest Steele family:
It thrills me to death to look at the pictures and the comments. I miss you all very much. But it is easier when I can look at your pictures and hear what is happening in your lives. I have told Aunt Pat, Aunt Phyllis and Aunt Linda to go on and look at your little family. When Aunt Phyllis was here the other day I let her take a quick peak at your family.
It is great you are building special memories that no one can ever take away from you. And the kids and you are having lots of new adventures, and experiencing new things every day. Sometimes it may be hard but when you get as old as I am those will be some of the most special memories. Your wild turkey will be a memory you will never forget and you think you have laughed about it now. Wait until you are in your 70's and I am telling you, you will laugh yourselves silly just thinking of how you dealt with some of your happenings in your life.
This is the one of the best times of your lives. And they will only get better.
Love
Gram B
