This drawer holds the little treasures our loved ones left behind—
handwritten notes, keepsakes wrapped in memories,
and letters that spoke volumes. Each one tells its own story.
Virginia Eileen Rogers
A Note Remembered
"A letter of recommendation for Virginia Rogers from Jane E. Wiersema, dated October 3, 1987, with a personal farewell note. A sweet memory of Momma’s time taking care of Mae McCorkle and the care she gave with love and dignity."
Grandma Mary’s Treasured Keepsakes
A Christmas afghan, lovingly crocheted by Grandma Mary when I was a child.Her crochet hooks—still kept in the cloth roll she kept them in. I still use them now and then.This tiny glass coal bucket always sat on her dresser. A little reminder of simpler days.This well-worn crochet pattern book, marked with handwritten names like Jean, Mae, and Amy, was tucked among Grandma Mary’s yarn and hooks. A testament to years of creativity, shared skills, and warm hands at work. Whether making doilies, Christmas decorations, or colorful granny squares, she stitched love into every piece.
