May 23, 1916- February 2, 2009
It has taken me a long time to be able to write this due to the fact that my Great-Grandmother's passing was hard for me to take. I was with her when she passed away and I had become very close to her in the few years before hand.
She was one fabulous woman! :) Although she was 92 she was still living on her own and if it was not for my Grandma prying her beloved Buick keys from her hand she would have still been driving. She always had to look her best and was neatly dressed, was prefectly ironed, and accessorized to the "T" even while spending the day at the grocery store. She was always cracking joke and asking why she had to be in rehab, after her first broken hip, with so many old people and even after breaking her second hip a few weeks later, she refused to eat anything but chocolate cake! I guess she deserved to eat chocolate cake at that point! :) I would love visiting her for lunch and going through all of her photo albums from when she was young...she constantly amazed me when we would go through every picture and she would remember each person, even if they had not been someone close to her, and she was only 8-10 years old in some of the pictures! In my last few visits with her she would constantly say how great of a family she has, how she was so blessed that we are all so close, and I always was sure to remind her that it was all because of her! :)
After thinking about things I have come to be at peace with the fact that she was extremely blessed in life and in death and she made sure to pass a lot of her blessings onto her family... thank you Great-Grandma...we love you and miss you so much!

What an amazing woman. I want to be like her!
You are the cutest! That was seriously so crazy to run into you guys. When I heard someone call my name, I was dreading turning around in fear I would run into a co-worker or something. I was so happy that it was you instead:)
