For almost 10 years Elise brought unprecedented happiness to Jennie (Jean) and Norman, as did Jennie and Norman to Elise as can be seen from these photographs -

1978 "Happiness is a Grand-daughter - Grandma Stafford Jennie) with Baby Elise who is very interested in Grandma!

1978 I'm a Grandpa! -  Norman aged 68 with his new baby Grand-daughter - Elise likes his joke!

September 27th 1980 Elise's 2nd Birthday
What joy in being able to blow out your candles on your
Birthday cake made by Grandma who is holding on
Aunt Dorothy clapping her hands and Grandpa is just so happy!

Give a bairn some water and a Grandpa (and Grand-daughter) and the world is perfect

When you get tired a quick cuddle from Grandpa "is just the ticket"

Happiness is doing the dishes with your Grandma!

It's that water thing again - Grandma Stafford (Jennie) with her 'perfect' grand-daughter - she later taught her to swim

Probably the last photograph taken of Elise with Grandpa and Grandma

Sadly nothing stays the same (that is life isn't it). Even though Jennie (Jean) was 7 years younger than Norman she died before him. Jennie was born on the 17th August 1917 and died on the 22nd December 1987 at the age of 70.  Norman died on the 10th October 1991 at the age of 81.
