Blanche Ella Goodwin Granath

I have spent the past few months really focused on a project that I'd like to share.  In taking an Art Appreciation class for my Master's degree entry program, I created this tribute to my Grandmother Blanche Ella Goodwin Granath.  2019 has been a very difficult year.   My heart hurts with our family losses of JoAnn Granath Helfin (Jody) earlier this year, and very recently this month, Juanda Kay Granath Edmondson and Patrick Ivan Granath.  All three of these were dearly, dearly loved by me and my siblings and cousins.   We Granaths (and Ogles and Edmondsons and Heflins) are a close-knit family, and spent our entire lives visiting and loving each other.   My cousins from these lines are loved like siblings.   I am so grateful for the lives these Aunts and Uncle lived, and the influence they had on me.  I did not know Grandma Blanche, she died before I was born, but I experienced her influence through her children, also especially my sweet mother, Dolores Peggy Jane Granath Ogle. I am certain Grandma and my mom welcomed them as they entered Heaven.  Our family will continue together, as those who have gone before us would want.  We will love them and each other, until we are all joined again.   Here is the completed project I made in honor of Grandma Blanche, Aunt Jody, Uncle Pat and Aunt Kay.  Love them so very much. Tell me what you think. By the way, I got an A.
