Carrie riddle with her daughter in this picture. Carrie Riddle was my mothers mother and my grandmother. Carrie Rampley Riddle was born in Laurens S.C. In 1864' and died 1958' she was 94' at her death. there is so much that can be told about grandmother Riddle. She was a christian and she loved reading the Bible and going to church. Yes she enjoyed reaching out to others. I remeber when grandmother was 90' years of age. She said charles if you will get me those apples i will bake an apple pie. But then she said don't say anything because they don't won't me to cook. I got the apples and grandmother cooked the best apple pie that i have ever eat. One day when grandmother was sitting on the front porch and my daddy was out there also. Carrie Riddle kelpt looking up at the sky my daddy said Mrs. Riddle why are you looking up at the sky. Mrs. Riddle said Denny i'am going home. My daddy said Mrs. Riddle you will be alright youe are not going anywhere. I really don't think that daddy understood what she meant. Grandmother was talking about going to Heaven. Mrs. Riddle walks that long hall for the last time she goes into her bed-room. Grandmother gets very sick the doctor was called to the house. This was 1958' back then the doctor would make house calls but anyway the doctor came he went into her room. The doctor did not stay long he came out of her room and shook his head. I never will forget that day as long as i live because the the doctor never got out of the house good till he had to come right back in grandmother was gone. She was 94 years of age grandmother i love you and i hope to see you in the sweet by and by.
