Another Great Birthday for Great Grandma

Today is my Grandma, Norma Crosby's 91st birthday. My father's mother, she has 7 children, 48 grandchildren, and 60 great-grandchildren and counting! The influence this soft-spoken, mild-mannered woman has had on this world through her own family and so many others is immeasurable. She is the epitome of gentleness, nurturing, and giving. In a sense, the ultimate mother. Although my family didn't live near her when I was growing up, we got together annually for family reunions and holidays. I didn't have an exceptionally close relationship with Grandma, but she was always there as a living example. Her house was always warm, full of people, and well-stocked in good, old-fashioned home cooking.

These are a couple of my favorite pictures of grandma. Can you tell which one she is in the girls' picture? (4th from left)
