I just got word that my Grandmother passed away. They had farmed in Minnesota for many years; my Dad is one of their five children. I have fun memories of visiting the farm in the summertime - exploring the woods, playing in the attic... When they retired, they moved to Missouri. This picture was taken in June 95, and my grandfather passed away just a few months later. After that, she moved in with my aunt and uncle, and had lived in Alabama for several years.
This picture was taken when we visited in October 03 and she met her newest great grandbaby.
I made this card for her when she turned 90 in '05. I'm not sure when the picture was taken, but isn't it lovely?She broke her hip a few weeks ago, and after a series of complications she went home to be with her Savior this morning.

I'm sorry to hear of your Grandmother's passing...She had a long life here on earth and she was probably looking forward to going home, to be with her Heavenly Father! Cherish those memories and her "spirit" will truly live on...
