Grandma dies at 101 :(
This a sad day. My grandma died this morning at an age of 101 (Her sister is 106)
She was really the head of the family and a great storyteller. Just think about the changes she has seen in her lifetime! Her family can be traced back 1000 years and shows ties to some of the greatest people in Denmark, incl Hans Christian Andersen (I can find letters in the family book). Her family had a plantagen in the Danish West Indies and some day im going to visit the remaining ruins. Theres even a bay there called Becks Bay as far as I know. Thats why I take pride in my family name - Beck I will really miss her - she was one proud and great lady!

Sorry for the loss of a family matriarch, McBeck; my thoughts with you and all of your family through what is, no doubt, a difficult time.

Sounds like she led a full life. You are richer for having known her.
