One of the greatest people who ever lived. She was always giving of herself to help others, and never asked for anything in return. She raised her own children and then some of her grandchildren. She would spend the entire day cooking, and then call and tell people to stop by after work and pick up their supper so they wouldn't have to go home and cook after a hard day. She might feed five different families on one night, and they would all have something different. And she did this on a fixed income. She also prayed for anyone and everyone who she knew. Boy, do I miss her.

My dear Granny, deceased now, escaped the Russian Bolshi Revolution in 1917. She took my Dad (then aged 9) and his two sisters (11 & 12) across Europe in a cattle train, and took two months to reach the UK.
Her husband,(my Gran-Dad) stayed behind in hiding as there was a price on his head - he arrived in UK four years later having skiied across the frozen Gulf of Botnia to Finland. He arrived in London early 1922 and died shortly after of exposure.
Granny held the family together and worked her way in a world which was very much a 'macho' dominated world, and brought up my Dad and my two Aunts very successfully.

There's not much to say. My grandmothers have been dead since the fifties and sixties. One was from Massachusetts and the other from West Virginia.

Her name is Hallye. When she was a little kid in the 1920's, she used to sing on the radio and her father played the piano. Her father was an alcoholic and died young. I don't think she ever quite got over that. She still, well into her eighties now, speaks of him with hero worship in her voice.

She died about 27 years ago, and I only have brief memory's of her.
She was a good egg who brought up 5 daughters whilst with an alcoholic husband who beat them all at the weekends whilst pi**ed but was good to them Mon to Fri.
No one went to Grandpa's funeral, but the world and his wife went to Grans.
I do recall her parrot died whilst we had Sunday lunch there one day about 30 years ago and when I noticed I asked why it was asleep.
She cried.
A wonderful woman from a different time, who dealt with the siht life gave her because she had no choice.
