Even though my children only got to meet their Gramma Hall once, they always knew they were loved by her. Rose never missed a birthday or occasion to let Zachary and Jillian know that she loved them and was thinking of them. What a powerful thing, to never forget to remind these children that even though she really didn't get to see them very much that they were loved and that they were family. The hats and mitts that she knit my kids kept them warm every day in the winter and the kids would looked forward every year at Christmas to see what colour they got. (They never doubted that the hats were coming)This woman has taught me and my chiildren the same thing that her son Mike has taught us, a fierce loyalty and devotion to family, no matter how far the bonds reach or what circumstances come. That is the greatest gift that Rose has given me and Mike's grandchildren, Zach and Jillian Moggy and we will keep that gift close and live that lesson daily.
