Babbie

Today we will celebrate my grandmother Alice LeClaire Palmer Mitchell "Babbie". She was an incredible wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She was a self-less, hard-working lady who was loyal, kind, honest and had a wonderful wit. She will be deeply missed, especially by me. She wrote me letters for as long as I can remember. No matter where I was, she wrote letters from home and postcards from her trips around the world with her husband, my grandfather, of 65 years, Ian "Mitch" Mitchell. I loved them both dearly. Our daughter is named after a wonderful woman.
