For those of you who forgot Grandma Sprick's prayer, here it is in needlework as it was set up against Grandma's funeral flowers when she died at age 99 in 1986. It means: "The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thy hand and satisfiest the desire of every living thing." As you all know, that's Psalms 145:15-16. Cousins? You didn't know? Grandma is looking at you!
Mom once told me that just before Grandma died peacefully in the armchair at our house in Old Frontenac, she looked startled and said, "Oh, I forgot -- " and was dead. What do you suppose she forgot?
