Grandma wrote:
When Jay and
Mable's little girl, Autumn, died in Mesa, I didn't hear about it until I went to Sunday School, and when I heard it, that girl was a grown girl standing beside me. I didn't see her, but I knew she was there. She was only two or three years old [2 years and 10 months], but her spirit was a grown girl.
From a cousin:
I remember Grandma talking about "dear little Autumn." I thought it such a beautiful name that it's my oldest daughter's
middle name and she gave it to her youngest daughter also.
