My Family On Mama's Side Part 2

We went back to visit Mama's home place in Damascus, Virginia in
the mid 1960's.

We met her Uncle Seaton and his family.  He was so much like Grandma.  Damascus

was a beautiful, quaint town with the most wonderful mountains.  The house they lived

in sat down in a valley with the mountains all around them.  We also saw where they went

to school.  This schoolhouse was built with the most beautiful stones .  Mama really

enjoyed showing us around, and we loved being there to see her childhood memories.

Grandma was the best friend any granddaughter
could have.  No matter what age I was, she would
always sit and talk with me. She always made me

Mom with her Uncle Seaton Gilliam

feel like a grown-up.  When I did get older, I
realized how much she had suffered in the loss of
her two sons...All of her children respected and
admired her so very much.  She was the most
humble and kind person you would ever want to
meet.  All of her children are with her and Grandpa now, as well
as some of her grandchildren...Jewell, Shirley, Shelby and Brenda.
