Today she would have been 115 years old!

Willa Blanche Miles
from Polaski, Tennesee,
Grand lady I will always admire
Oh how I miss you.
You left this world in 1970
Just a few months before I would graduate high school...
Grandfather followed you eleven months later...because he couldn't live without you.
It has been hard not having a grandmother and grandfather to love and adore...
I remember how loving you were.
I remember when I wrote to you and told you I wanted to write books.
I remember you said you thought that was wonderful.
I wish you could read my stuff today. I think you would like it.
Grandmother, I look forward to the day when we can see each other again.
In the meantime, Happy Birthday in heaven and hug Granddaddy for me too.
Love you so much, Penni Lynn
