My great nephew was named after my Dad, and coincidentally was born 100 years later. Dad was born in June of 1914 and nephew was born in August of 2014. I wanted to give him something that he could have over the years as a reminder. My mother had a large collection of two dollar bills. Both g grandparents passed on before the nephew was born. I sorted through the $2 and found one with a serial number ending in 14,I found an acrylic photo frame viewable on both sides. I mounted a picture of my parents, a note about each and the two dollar bill in the frame and sent it to my nephew, he has his great grandfather's name as a keepsake and something from his great grandmother a well. My niece was thrilled, she was 4 when my mother passed away, but was a Sr.in H.S. when my dad passed, dad lived with my brother an niece the last 4 years of his life.
So perhaps a picture if available of the g grandmother and a note about the thimble to go along with it.
