Grammy Margaret
My husband's grandmother, Grammy Margaret passed away last week. She was nearly 90 and lived a very long, full, and happy life. I have every confidence that we will see her again! She was such a sweet, quiet lady and while her death makes us sad, we-- her family-- rejoice in her life. In her lifetime she had five children, four grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren!
Her service was a small, intimate gathering with mostly family, extended family and a few family friends. The priest talked about how she loved to make things... she loved to work with ceramics and stain glass... some things that her children and grandchildren will cherish now more than ever knowing she lovingly (and with painstaking detail) created such things as full navity sets, stainglass flowers, and Christmas ornaments and household decorations. And while, the physical inheritance will remind us of her daily, it's the memories that we cherish-- Sunday dinners, loud family holidays, shopping trips, vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and peanuts, and a grandmother's laugh that makes you smile just thinking of it.
Rest in peace, Grammy! We love you and we will see you soon.

So sorry for your loss- I know you will see her again- she looks so sweet. My maw maw just turned 88 today. She is still up and running, so hopefully she will live into her 90's or longer!!! Praying for you and your family as you grieve.
