I know that I’m a couple weeks behind, but I needed some time to gather my thoughts before I shared this. On Monday morning, October 12th, my grandma left this earth to join her Savior in heaven. It’s been a time of sorrow and a time of rejoicing.
I have many memories of spending the night and my grandparents house, playing in the pine trees out back, playing games, and eating gingerbread man pancakes for breakfast. My favorite was when they would take us to the local A&W where I was treated to a root-beer float.
As I got older, I could see that my grandma cared about her neighbors and others in the community as she cared for her family. She had the gift of hospitality and humility, always a welcome smile and kind word. Going to visit meant sitting at the kitchen table having a drink and something to snack on while talking about life, or playing a game while doing all of the above.
Needless to say, my grandma was a very special women who’s strong faith and love has shaped my life. I Love you Grandma!!!
At the end of the graveside service roses were handed to family members from the casket arraignment, to those who wanted them. This is the rose I got.
