No fair making me cry!!! Thanks for sharing this beautiful story. Quilts touch so many lives in amazing ways. I have a quilt my Grandma made for me the year before she died. I was pregnant with my son but she passed away before he was born. He is 24 and I still miss her.

What a most touching story. God bless you. She knew what wonderful friends she had and knew she could count on them. How wonderful for her to be able to be at peace knowing you were her angels. Now she is your angel. Have a great Christmas and healthy and prosperous New Year.
