Storms take many forms, lightning, tornados, rain, snow, tragedy………..
What greater storm could a parent face, than the death of a child?
21 Dec 1887 – 27 May 1892
Pheobe Ophelia Grantham, second child and oldest daughter of Rufus Marion and Mary Ann “Mollie” McReynolds Grantham, born 21 Dec 1887 in Bosque County, Texas.
By 1891 R. M., Mollie, Thomas Jefferson, and little Pheobe had migrated to Coleman County and the Roberson Peak area where baby Ada Elizabeth was born.
In the blink of an eye, their lives were forever altered.
“Our darling one has gone before, To greet us on the golden shore”

Losing a beloved child is the hardest trial A parent will ever face in this life. Dear Phoebe we remember you now.
Oh my, that sweet little darling daughter, I pray that she did not suffer! I don’t know how a parent can ever truly recover after such a devastating accident.
