In Loving Memory

On February 18, 2016, my Grandmother passed away. We knew she was weakening and that she was going soon, but the last day and a half spent at the hospital, leading up to her passing, went by so quickly. 

In this time of intense grief, I am so thankful for the memories and the time we had with her. Her sense of humor, perky attitude, and love for us will be missed beyond belief. 

Praise the Lord she went peacefully, with us around her, holding her hand and telling her we loved her, as she breathed her last. I pray that she's with Jesus now, and that we'll see her again someday. 


About 3-4 years ago when Grandma had a stroke, we took turns staying at her house and caring for her. Those were special times. 

 Dear Squish and I visiting (Great-Grandma for her) this last September.
 I am so thankful Squish and she had a wonderful visit, playing with toys together.
 (Great) Grandma's sense of humor was so special. Here, Squish is giggling at Great-Grandma's pretended horror.



Five days before she passed away, watching a home video from 20 years ago, when I was born.
You can see her remembering the day. Her love for us was so special.

"The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away...blessed be the name of the Lord." 

Grandma, I miss you so much!
