"A Most Precious Christmas Gift" by Kitty
"My special memory is of Christmas 2012 before my beloved Rich passed away in August of 2013. He made me a rectangular box out of old barn wood, and I have kept it on my dining room table ever since. He went to his friend’s house to cut and put it together.
It will always be a treasure to me, of something he made with his loving hands.
Isn’t it pretty? I change it out during the seasons."
Bio: "I graduated from Ohio State University with a BS in Home Economics Education. I thank the Lord for giving me 43 years of marriage to my beloved Rich, who sadly passed away in 2013 from prostate cancer. We raised a daughter and three sons, who were all born in Columbus, Ohio. We moved to Michigan in 1985, and then to Texas in 1986, and I’ve been here ever since. I have eight beautiful grandchildren and I love being with them, and making memories."
