Grandma

September 6, 2008 By

My grandmother died today.  Grandma was sick in the hospital this past week, so it wasn’t totally unexpected.  Grandma would have been 88 at the end of this month, so she lived a long life.

Enjoy some pictures.

    Thanks Kelly. Last week we missed because I had Friday off and Mister had to go to Phoenix, so I went with him. But this week I wasn’t feeling much like it. Thanks for your thoughts.

    I’m sorry to hear that, Kirsten. It’s never a good thing, but at least it wasn’t a total shock.

    Thanks Jordon. At least Grandma’s not in any more pain.

    I hope you’re not getting too soaked with all the wild weather you’re having down there!

    Hi Kirsten:

    This note comes with our thoughts & prayers to you and your family on your grandmother’s passing.

    Your mom told us we could view some pictures on your web site. They are great pictures and really made me smile. The way she looks reading and holding Shari’s baby are just the way I remember my Aunt Ruthie!

    Love,

    Betty
