Hidden journaling reads:Dora Rebecca (Davis) Simpson was my Great-Grandmother. Everyone called her Dodo as in a Dodo bird. I have so many fond memories of her. She made the best chicken-N-dumplings. She also liked to make cabbage ,hot water cornbread, and lima beans. She loved to sew and make quilts. Right before she got sick and passed away she was in the process of making everyone quilts. She finished the tops but not the backing. My Grandma took them somewhere and had them completed. Mine stays put up as I do not want anything to happen to it. She also would make me dolls just for me. Oh how I loved that woman. She was also known for her punishment methods. When we did wrong she would send us out to get a switch of a tree. To this very day I can still feel the sting. WE learned quick not to get small skinny ones. Those were the ones that hurt the most. Its funny but when I think back on it I cant help but smile. Everyone also loved playing tricks on her. She was always good natured about it and would play along. For me I think my fondest memories of her are her hands. She had arthritis and some of her fingers where stuck and unable to straighten. She wore her Mothers Ring on one of the fingers and every time I saw her I just had to try and get that finger straight. I never forced though because I could not stand the thought of hurting her. I would do this always, even when I was 12 I did this. It was just something I did. When she passed away the first thing I looked for at the viewing was that ring. I was devastated that it was gone. It just did not seem right to me for her not to have it on. Now though I am glad, because that ring sits in my jewelry

Poem reads:
Until We Meet Again

You left this Earth so long ago
and in my heart you left a hole
Only in pictures do I see your face
but always I remember your loving embrace
Your title fits you perfectly
So great and grand you were to me.
I learned of sorrow the day you died
with sadness in my heart, I cried.
Still I miss you no matter how long its been
and I will for the rest of my life, until we meet again.
