For those of you who enjoyed the story of the 65+ year lost FDR Memorial Grimsland cover mailed to Mrs. S.E. Lawrence in July 1945, which finally arrived in Annisquam last month, here are photos of Aunt Saddie and her niece, Sylvia DeBoever (the one who brought Aunt Saddie and her story to life), and Aunt Saddie on her 92nd birthday. The birthday photo was taken by her grandniece, Mary Anne Thomson, who loved to reverse Aunt Saddie’s birthday candles. Aunt Saddie died at the age of 98 on August 22, 2001. The family has not received Aunt Saddie’s long lost mail, which hopefully won’t get lost for another 65 years. (USPS people, don’t take that personally, I’m joking and we all know you will do the right thing in the right time.)

Good Morning Gloucester 
My husband and I bought Sadie’s house and refurbished it. We found a platter in the attic that we take out at all holidays.Whether it holds the ham at Easter,the turkey at Thanksgiving or Christmas a part of her is still here. We do this to honor her. The neighbors who knew her tell us what a sweet lady she was. Thanks for posting this so my children can see it.
