Great Grandma Charlotte

The very last picture I took of my Grandma


Early this morning my Grandma passed away. In the sadness of losing her I feel very much at peace. I know she is in a much better place and is being re-united with Grandpa and Aunt Candy.
Even though I lived far from her growing up I always felt her love. She always remembered my birthday and special events. I even received cards from her when I was in college. That is dedication. I'm pretty sure she passed onto me my love of chocolate. Always chocolate, in any form. From ice cream to shakes, to cookies to candy. She loved it even when it made her sick. She also loved her family and always enjoyed me bringing the kids over for a visit.
I love you Grandma and will miss you.

I am glad you were able to get this shot with all your kidlets! Although death can be hard it is comforting to know she didn't have to suffer.

Oh, how wonderful you have this photo. I loved hearing that Grace nuzzled up to grandma and gave her love and affection. It is sad to see grandma looking so miserable...glad she's with grandpa.
