It is sad to say that Allie's Great Grandma Williams Passed away this last week at the age of 96. She was the sweetest lady ever! As I was deciding on a name for Allie I kept telling Chris that I wanted her to have a middle name but he is against any girl having a middle name just cause once she is married she will take on a new name. I finally convinced him to let her have one and as I was deciding what it should be I was thinking of all the grand children and great grandchildren that grandma had. I realize that quite a bit of them were named after Christopher's grandfather and none were named after his grandma. So I decided that we would name her Allie Avera Williams (if we had a girl) I'm so glad that we did!!! Great Grandma was so thrilled to have a great grandchild named after her that she would always introduce her as "Allie Avera" it was so cute. I remember the next day in the hospital after allie was born she was the very first one there to hold Allie. She was a kind and loving lady she was always looking after all of us and we will miss her very much!

Sorry for your loss--sounds like great grandma lived a full life clear up to 96 years, wow!
Awe- I knew Allie's middle name was after her, but I didn't know you guys were the first to honor her in using her name! That makes it 10 times more special.
I am so sorry about your Grandma Williams. It looks like Allie was named after a special lady and you can always tell her that and tell her stories about who she was named after. She lived a long full life that's comforting.
That was wonderful! Grandma June says that she is very happy that she got to meet Grandma Williams at your wedding...she had a great time talking to her.
Love you guys!
It was always fun to see grandma Avera at Allie's birthday parties and she was always so sweet. I can tell that Allie loved her lots. Keep talking about her and she may remember her as she gets older!
I love when people name their kids something that has a great story behind it. Sorry for your loss, she sounds like a great lady for your sweetheart to live up to.
that is so sweet that she would introduce her like that. And that's such a sweet thing for your little Allie to know about her.
