Jenna's Grandmother
Three years ago, when Terry was lobbying me to pick up the reins of Wrap-A-Smile, she shared many stories of the wonderful people whom she had met through her quilting and Rotary worlds. One story in particular stood out to me, the bond between a grandmother and granddaughter who sewed a quilt together for WAS. It became a summer tradition, with the quilts getting more detailed as the granddaughter got older. I loved the story and having two little granddaughters of my own, I immediately put that on my own "someday" list. Then out of the blue, a few weeks ago, I was contacted by a young woman named Jenna whose grandmother had passed away. Jenna explained that because her grandmother Eileen had loved to sew and had made many quilts for WAS, the family would like to suggest that memorial donations be made to WAS. I was very touched, thinking how thoughtful and generous that a granddaughter would encourage this means to honor her grandmother. And then I started sleuthing.
