Saying goodbye to Grandma

Two weeks ago we traveled to Missouri to say goodbye to Grandma. It was a very sad occasion, but such a blessing to be with our wonderful family. She lived such a beautiful life. It was an honor to be able to celebrate her with family and friends.

My sister-in-law describes her best, "She was a woman of strength, loving and supportive of her family in all endeavors. She was a communicator, writing many letters and cards each day. She loved pretty things and entertaining her club ladies. She was a record keeper, remembering birthdays and anniversaries. She was a woman of faith, playing the piano and teaching Sunday school up till her last Sunday. She was fearless, always up for trying something new, whether it was swimming in her 90s to learning to use a Kindle. She was a great baker of cookies her grandchildren adored. She was a teacher that touched many lives for the better. She loved steadfastly, was wholeheartedly loved, and will be greatly missed."
