God blessed us all the day we became your grandchildren.

Letters were sent out to all the grandchildren telling them that we wanted to do something in Granny’s memory; several sent in donations for this. (I threatened each of the them to keep this a secret from their parents)  This was not only done in Granny’s memory but it was in the honor of her kids, our parents. We want them to know how much we love their Mother, our Granny.

Just as us Martins return to the park for the family reunion every year, the Martin birds return to their nesting place every year. Therefore, Paula had the wonderful idea of the Martin Birdhouse. While again, I am so sorry that we did not have it there and put up in time.

The park employees had agreed to put the birdhouse up when it arrives. It is two stories to allow for several Martins, you know there is never just one Martin anywhere. ( you may wish it was, but it never is)

Paula designed the plaque for the post of the birdhouse. It reads as follows:

In Loving Memory

Marie

“Granny”

Martin

1920 – 2008

God blessed us all the day we became your grandchildren.

You filled our lives with love, beauty, and laughter.

We miss you.

We love you.

- your grandchildren

Also, the grandchildren will have a brick paver placed at the Centennial Park on Main Street in Crossett, in Granny’s Memory.

I will send pictures of each of these items when they are in place. Please take a moment to thank Paula for the plaque design. Paula has worked hard on many projects, not only on her projects but on so many of my projects ideas.  I think after this she is blocking all my phone calls and emails. Thank you Paula, for all that you have done.

So parents be sure to thank your children for assisting with this Memorial for Granny.
