The Family Matriarch

The Cutler family has lost the family matriarch. She was a great woman with many years of history and experience. I was the glad and ready listener to many stories of my family in the past and how the old ways of Quakers influenced her all her life.

Grandma and her family were Quakers by birth, and she was a practicing Quaker. She was part of the historical "society" for the Quakers as well, serving her community with history writings and speeches. She has written several books worth of history, both of family and of Quaker life, which will be the benefit of many for years to come. 

Here is a photo of her Father in 1942, about 4 years after Grandma Vera was married to my Grandfather Lawrence Cutler.

Well i'll post more as time progresses... maybe more about grandma and family, but nevertheless more of something as it comes to me. That's what a blog is, right? : )

The family is well, the loss was expected, and Grandma lived a long life, well lived. She was 94. The Lord gave her more than just her 3 score and 10, and even 4 score! (Psalm 90:10)
