Memories of Granny...

This is the beginning of my journey to tell my mother's story. Granny, the name which became her's after the birth of her first grandchild, Raymond, and that is what everyone who met her called her. Granny was a remarkable woman. She started to write her own life's story while visiting me in Hong Kong in 1992. I am determined to finish that story for her and share it with the world.
I ask you, anyone and everyone who ever met Granny, to help me along this journey. Any comments, story, rememberance, anecdote or photo, you wish to add will be greatly appreciated. I plan to incorporate these into the telling of this remarkable woman's life story.
