Thank you!

Thank you so much for your prayers for my family and Grandma. They truly meant so much to me! It has been such a blur this past week and the days seem to have all melded together. Grandma passed away on Monday and it has been such a time of mixed emotions for me - so sad, yet happy at the same time as she is now with my Grandpa and Aunt Elaine! She was such a wonderful woman and I am so comforted by the fact that of anyone I know, she was the most ready to leave us and went to the place that she cherished and wanted to go. She lived a long and wonderful 95 years and will be dearly missed.

I was so blessed to have known her and have her in my life!

Some of my favorite pictures from the last few years...

Every family deserves a wonderful matriarch. You, Mike and the boys were so lucky to be so loved by your Grandma. The world will be a little dimmer without her light but she lives on in all of you.

She was a wonderful woman. I am grateful to have met her at your wedding and showers. You are a good Granddaughter to her.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I am sorry for your loss. But glad that you all were there to celebrate her life with her in her final days. Thankful for the longevity of our grandparents, special that our kids will always hold them as dear as we ourselves do. Praying for comfort for you and your family as you are left missing her. May you rest in the fact that she is reunited with her loved ones and at peace. -Robin

Oh Michelle, I am so very sorry. I am glad though that you not only have these beautiful photos to preserve your Grandmother's memory, but also the help of the boys' memories. How fortunate (for all of you)that they are at an age to appreciate having a GREAT Grandmother. I hope the days ahead get easier, despite such a great loss.
