Jeanne Cooper:

I watched the tribute on Jeanne Cooper, better known as Katherine Chancellor on Y & R last night.
Each tribute mentioned how special Jeanne made them feel and were all astonished that the other cast members felt the same way.  It so reminded me of my Grandma, as she made each grandchild feel as if they were the most important.  Listening to so many of Jeanne's attributes, the kindness, generosity, treating people with dignity-all could have also been said of Grandma. (minus the language they mentioned Jeanne used, my Grandma never cussed)
I found a poem I wrote a few years ago about my Grandma and Grandpa and thought I would share.

             In Loving Memory of Grandma and Grandpa Feeler
                                        Eliza Rebecca (Ballance) Feeler
                                        4/04/1894 - 1/21/1987
                                        Arch Feeler, Sr.                     
                                        1/24/1982 - 4/19/1974
                                                         (my birthday)

                                                    Grandma,
                                           a kind word, a smile
                                           a twinkle in her eye
                                         You always felt loved
                                       when Grandma was near-by.

                                                     Grandpa,
                                                 funny, clever
                                             mischievous ways
                                         always something to say.
                                                Give him a fiddle
                                         and a song he would sing
                                     the music and joy he put forth
                                         sure made the walls ring.
                                      
                                                   Together,
                                       they made quite a pair.

                                              Grandma and Grandpa,
                                             were definitely first rate
                                          That's why we called them
                                        Grandma and Grandpa Great.

I am grateful for the legacy of my grandparent's love.
