MIRA'S EULOGY
by Pastor Rick Hall,
(Mira's Grandson)
Grandma Grey was a wonderful lady and from this grandson's viewpoint, and, having only known her till I was 8 years old (1952), she was a loving, caring individual who endured an abusive marriage by her husband - both to her and to us Hall kids growing up at Grey's Lodge in Sagamore from 1947 thru 1952, but we all have wonderful memories of our Grandma Mira Grey; next to Mom, she was the most gentlest woman on earth.
One of my earliest recollections was when I was about four standing on a chair in the old kitchen at 7 Pleasant Street in Sagamore, being bathed with a sponge by my Grandma; she really loved us and though we had a bath tub upstairs, she generally bathed us in the kitchen, standing on a chair - it was probably easier for her at her age, being 68 or 69 at the time, to use a chair rather than be on her knees at the edge of a bath tub?
All your grandchildren love you Grandma, we loved you then and we love you now too. We hope to see you in heaven one day, very soon, especially based on the world situation today.
