Lucy's great grandmother, Ruth Katherine Knight Pitzer, "Gigi" to her great grandchildren and "Meama" to the grandkids, passed away last weekend at the age of 90.
Amber, Lucy, and I visited Gigi in Virginia for the first time when Lucy was not quite two months old. I was really excited for Gigi to meet my daughter.Gigi had a huge smile that never left as she held Lucy for the first time. She kept saying "I love you!" to Lucy over and over, joyously singing "Lu! Lu! Lu!" as if her happiness couldn't be contained. Lucy, who had just started smiling, was fascinated by Gigi, and beamed right back at her. She hadn't smiled at anyone that much before!
As I post these pictures, I am remembering how Meama showed me the same love and affection all these years. There are a lot of grandkids and great-grandkids who miss her.
