My grandmother LaPriel Walter was born on January 11, 1911. Today would have been her 100th birthday. We briefly celebrated her life at Evergreen cemetery, where she and Grandpa-Great are buried. I have great memories of my grandmother. She was a strong-minded, confident woman. She was an excellent cook who made even the simplest of meals tantalizing. She spoke her mind, which both impressed and frightened me as a child. As a young adult, I witnessed her courage in the face of affliction as well as her genuine loving nature. She was very kind to Daryl from the start of our relationship. She passed away shortly after we were married, but not before she made a big impression on both of us.
It seemed quite fitting to give Meili her name.
