Nothing beat spending summers with my Grandma. I found myself preserving every not and card I got from my Grandma- so I decided to collect her handwriting and turn it into a font, that I could use even when she died. I'm still working on programing it so it is usable. But these are some of the samples I've collected along with pictures from around her home. 
In use on her funeral program — she labeled everything with masking tape.
