I got a call from my mom Friday, September 18th, telling me that my Grandma had passed away. I knew it was coming - she had been sleeping and not eating all week. I was so sad she was gone, but so happy she is free from Alzheimer's now and with my Grandpa again.
My mom flew me up for the funeral and I took Remmy with me since she was free. I had two friends watch Brooklyn and Jake for the weekend. I don't think they missed me one bit and had a blast having "sleepovers". I flew in Friday afternoon and came home Sunday morning. John was able to come down from Idaho which was so fun to see him. His birthday was also that weekend so fun to be together for that.
Jeannette and I were able to go with my mom to dress my Grandma's body on Friday afternoon. It was such a sweet experience, one that I will never forget. She was tiny and perfect. Friday night there was a viewing. It was so fun to see so many cousins that I haven't seen for so long.
Saturday was the graveside service and a luncheon to follow at my aunt's house. It was a great weekend - happy to celebrate my Grandma's life and be surrounded by family.

That was such a wonderful couple of days, probably just as grandma would have wanted it. It was something I'll never forget. So grateful you could come!
