Nine years after her grandmother s passing, a Louisville woman got a very special Christmas surprise. Author: Rob Harris, CJ Daniels Published: 11:01 PM EST December 27, 2020 Updated: 11:27 PM EST December 27, 2020
LOUISVILLE, Ky. On Aimee Jewell’s wedding day, an important person wasn’t there but that person had a plan to make sure Aimee knew how much she cared.
“Dear Aimee, you’ve always been very special to me. As you go forward with your life, I wish you much love and happiness,” the letter wrote.
Years before a wedding was even in the picture, Grandma Baird started stitching.
“I didn’t date a lot in my youth, so it was funny that she thought I would get married in the first place,” Aimee said. “Making quilts was really her legacy. She loved really taking advantage of scrap pieces of material.”
