Grace loved her grandmother dearly. Never heard her
speak of her
grandfather, but boy she really loved Grandma Love.
Like everyone Grace had her share of some bumps in
the road of life.
Her mother passed away when Grace was nineteen years
old.
While in college a gifted friend committed suicide.
After Grace's dear daddy married her cousin, Daddy
didn't have the time to
devote to Grace like in the past. She was daddy's girl. She did love him
so
and craved his attention. From her dairy she writes, Daddy and Ethyl can't
find anything for us to do together. They never ask me to play the piano
for them. They just want to listen to the radio. Arthur always saw to
Grace's
needs all the way to the end.
Grandma Love disapproved of this marriage. She and
Uncle Charlie
were estranged from the family. Grace would live with them when not in
school.
Daddy would pick up Grace from her grandma's house and they would go on
Daddy dates. Grace lived for those all too few moments together.
Grace could hardly wait for school to start. College
was her home with
friends with common interest - music. She writes "I feel at home at
school
they are my family."
It is not clear when Grandma Love came to live with
Harold and Grace
but it was probably after Uncle Charlie died, they were still in New
York . When Harold and Grace moved to Florida in 1951 Grandma
Love came with them. She remained a loving part of their lives until
her death.
A large oil portrait of Grandma Love was always over
the sofa
in the "Florida Room." As well as a 8"x 10" picture on
the
piano.
