My grandma

This picture of me and my grandma (Nanny:) was taken about a year and a half ago and I think it is one of the last ones I have of the two of us. She passed away two weeks ago after battling Alzheimer's for the last few years. To be honest, I am glad she is not suffering anymore and that she is at peace with Christ at this moment.  She was the quintessential grandma to me and my sisters (and other cousins) and a model of a Christ-like spirit in numerous ways. I have so many wonderful memories of her as she was able to be there to watch us all grow up and I already miss her lots.

Last weekend, the funeral was held in Louisville and my grandpa stayed with my parents for several weeks as family and friends came by to visit and plan the details. My mom snapped lots of pictures of him with Andrew and I think the two of them love each other a lot! I am sad that my grandma never got to meet Drew because I'm certain she would have loved her great-grandson!

 

In addition to seeing my grandpa we got to see lots of family and friends who knew and loved my grandma.

 

This one is kind of blurry but my grandpa is in the middle with two of his oldest friends (they've known him for over 70 years!) and I think that is just amazing that their friendship goes that far back.

All the cousins/grandkids (and spouses) made for a full picture! Even though the funeral was sad on one level, it was also good to see so many people who loved my grandma and to catch up with family members we don't get to see as often as we'd like.
