My 2 Grand children just received their quilts. When my daughter in law text-ed me the pics I bawled my eyes out to where I couldn't even SEE them! I had to wait a bit to get focused. What an honorable precious gift that will last a life time to these children. As a gramma who can't be there with them,,,, I Thank You ALL for the added love they need. These are such a tribute of Love!!It is hard being away from their daddy's & family both. Thank you, Thank you!! Sincerely, Arellia & Gage's Grami Tami
