Many years ago my Grandmother gave this small amber colored glass cup to me. I recall she told me that it belonged to my Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother. Recently while doing a complete over due cleaning I picked this cup up to dust and saw that on the bottom she had written this information on the bottom. The writing is hers and it brought her back to life for me for a brief moment. The lettering is fading and I knew I needed to try and in some ways keep in for posterity sake, so I took photos of it hoping that it would appear like magic. Believe me if you were to look at the small piece of tape she used the words are nearly impossible to see but with some work and a bit of photo magic the words and her handwriting are there.

Mama passed away August 13,2002.
I wish now I could ask her a bit more about this.
I wish I could talk to her again.
