GRANDMA-GREAT McINTYRE

This is my only living grandparent. I have no memory of either my mom's or dad's fathers and the only "Grandpa" I ever knew was the 60 year old bachelor my maternal grandmother married in her later life. So, with only one grandparent alive, she deserves a little tribute. This is my father's mom. Her name is Nellie McIntyre but all I've ever known her as was Gramma Mac. When my sister started having children, they started calling her Grandma-Great instead of Great-Grandma. It just stuck and now she has a couple great-great-grandchildren, so apparently, she's pretty great! She lives in Washington in a retirement home and is happy there. She has congestive heart failure and struggles some days. I should be shot to admit this, but I'm not sure if she's over 90 or coming up on 90 but I know she's one tough gal.
It is really hard to read what it says on the page below Gramma's face, so I'll type it here and not make anyone squint and get a headache. (I say that like anybody actually ever reads my blog! HA! HA!) Anyway, it says

Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us we see the past, present, and future.
