InscribedPrinted on back of frame: "Concordia Gregorieff / A Century of Life / Her life has spanned one hundred years / And like the broken beads, / Is filled with laughter and with tears, / Of many kindly deeds. / They left the country of the Czar, / Their new life to begin. / Their diet went from caviar, / Became American. / Befriended by an architect, / They moved to Hartford town. / Their English full of dialect / And dressed in hand-me-down. / Concordia spent a full career / While working for the State. / In choir her God she did revere, / Success to actuate. / This beauty from across the sea / Enriches all our lives. / Her talent we do all agree / For excellence she strives. / Through tragedy and time of loss / True friendship and lost love, / She loves her Saviour and His cross, / Still worships God above. / Happy 100th Birthday! / December 28, 2003 / Affectionately, / Walt and / Renalda"On View
