In her later years she suffered from leg ulcers, and eventually she cameto stay with us at Weirwood Avenue, Garrowhill. I remember when she died as I was 12, but did not go to her funeral. Although I used to visit my Aunt ISA when we went to see Grannie in Grangemouth, I do not remember ISA coming to see her when she was ill at our house. Perhaps there was a family falling out? I inherited an Edwardian silk parasol and a ring of Grannies. I was told it was brought from Amsterdam by her husband. It is lozenge shaped with a central diamond and four triangular sapphires round it.
