January 29,1916 - April 11, 2010
You know, I'm not completely sad about the passing of my fantastic Grammy. She was 94 years old and has had a wonderful life. Plus she has wanted to go for so long that I am just happy that she is now in a place where she can be tremendously happy and pain free. I'm sad that I won't be able to see her anymore and talk with her about her life. I've been able to visit with her and see her more lately and I'm so grateful for that time.
When I knew that she wasn't going to be around for much longer I was thinking about everything and then I got to thinking how awesome it would be to see the reunion between her and her husband, her son, and her father (and everyone else in her family). Her dad died when she was only 6 or 7. Her son was 20 or so when he died. And her husband died 12 years ago. Oh how lovely it would have been to see the excitement!
I loved the way Grammy and Grandpa always had candy in their car when they would come and visit. Oh how I crave her spaghetti and wheat bread. I remember when she showed us how to make her spaghetti, we wrote every step down, but we still can't make it like she made it. I haven't tried to make her wheat bread, maybe I should get on that! I remember the fun times that we had in their place in Salt Lake, and the couple places in St. George. We always had a lot of fun and she was always so kind and wonderful.
My crazies absolutely loved her. They loved playing with the stuffed animals that were from New Zealand and trying to play with the "dolls" (that were off limits) that Grandpa made.
I am grateful for her example and the love that she showed each and every one of us.
I've gone through my pics and this is the only one I have of us from my younger years. Mom, isn't there more? We went to their house ever month. Nice head Moo Moo!
