As soon as I read that I had a vision of the doors, I remember being fascinated by the latches. I can actually hear the click as they latched, what memories! Thank you for building such a beautiful house, I will always treasure those memories.<br /><br />She was truly a lovely lady, such a beautiful spirit and testimony. I feel honored to have had her in my life. <br /><br />Thank you for your comments. ~MelanieMacsmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07453457144226016704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615514819155444990.post-72123266510657361972012-03-27T11:37:06.287-04:002012-03-27T11:37:06.287-04:00Melanie,

I had the privilege of knowing her and your family over the years starting with my working on the farm in Crozet, VA (one of the many homes they lived in), then working for Claude's construction company and including being the builder of that log cabin you played in as a child. I can tell you that a lot of love and attention went into its construction and I personally built the over 30 interior doors by hand. I'm glad that part of grandparents' lives brought so much joy to all of her children and friends and I could be a part of that.<br /><br />Your grandmother was a remarkable person and her passing to be with the Lord is a testament to a life well-lived in Him.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />Kirt KirtlandAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615514819155444990.post-53336144261446407362012-03-21T10:44:11.199-04:002012-03-21T10:44:11.199-04:00It was good to see you too!
