"This picture is of my grandmother, who died at a young age before I was born. I never got to know her, and have heard many amazing stories."

Ann Louise Sullivan

from Tricia Moran
"My grandma (Ann Louise Sullivan) was an amazing woman. She had diabetes before it was very well known. If I had the opportunity to write an entire book about her, I would still need more room to write.

She worked with Mrs. Knott making pies (but she never got the secret recipe for the chicken!) and the famous boysenberry jam.
Ann went blind when I was about 2 but made my first baby dresses with tiny trim using a jeweler's glass to see the stitches. I still have all of those dresses, and my daughter, Amber, had her 1 month picture taken in one of them."
