The upper part of the window shows two predominantly blue birds holding a red berry between their beaks and surrounded by a red circle hovering over between the seas and heaven symbolizing “the beginning” and representing two of her grandchildren not yet born when the window was designed and built. The blue color of the birds is meant to represent “Eastern Blue Jays” to honor Mr. Jay Foulks, Susie’s husband.

​

The central image summarizes the theme of the window with the image of Christ holding a little lamb, representing children, in His loving arms.

​

The middle portion of the window shows six angels holding hands representing the angelic nature of grandchildren and the mutual love between grandparents and their grandchildren.

 

The section between the middle and the lower sections has six panels with the names of their seven grandchildren, and the are etched on the reverse side of the panels to prevent “little hands” from touching them and getting them dirty.

​

The lower portion of the window has three stylized versions of cone flowers in red color.  Like in all other windows, the three are meant to represent the Hold Trinity, and are also flowers commonly seen in our region during summer.
