Grandma Mary passed away yesterday, peacefully at home. Luke and I spent this morning talking about our memories of her and going through all our pictures, finding our favorite ones. Something we noticed was Grandma did not like getting her picture taken! We didn't have as many pictures as we thought we did. Grandma loved our girls and we all loved her so much too. We'll miss her, more than I can even describe. Jill Harman helped write her obituary for the paper and it turned out beautifully. I especially like the comparison between Grandma the gardener and Grandma the nurturer. She loved to cultivate beautiful roses each year in her yard, and as a mother and grandmother she nurtured and cultivated wonderful children and grandchildren. She made everything bloom.

We are thinking and praying for your family. We sure loved your Grandma as well and will always think of her as Cookie Grandma!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Grandma and Peggy! She was so fun....She did love gardening and flowers. I saw her on Sunday before she died and she was all scratched up from trimming her roses! Life is not the same without her!
ReplyDeleteJen, this is a lovely memory to Grandma Mary. She was very unforgettable and will be missed by all. I'm glad that you were able to know her and have some great memories of her.
