Saint Agnes Church, San Francisco, June 29, 2007
Excerpt from my eulogy:
“…When I asked mother Anne just a few years ago what she thought were characteristics that I had inherited from her she answered: ’I loved your father very much.’ At first I wasn’t really sure what she meant, and wondered if she was trying to avoid my question, but when I gave it some afterthought it made perfect sense. Her love for our father was perhaps the truest story of her life. It was, of course, to that love that we not only owed our very existence, but also for which we shared a tremendous grief over his sudden death...
We often had talks like this over the phone between Sweden and the US. Insightful, wise, sometimes comforting.”

A diary inspired by excerpts from a diary written by my grandmother, Edith Gertrude Kreigh (1886-1977), an American mother with children on both fronts during World War II. Excerpts (in bold print)were written mostly in the spring of 1942, and published here on the same days of the year as original entries, 65 years later. All other texts are by Sue Anne Moody (1947-).
