Ninety years of life, love and wonderful memories

Today we said our final goodbye to my grandma who passed away last Saturday morning. She was 90 years old and ready to go to Heaven. Last week we all knew her time here on earth was coming to an end and we had the opportunity to hold her hand and tell her one last time how much we love her and what a blessing she has been in our lives. She was a small, petite woman who gave birth to nine children and worked hard her whole life. Unfortunately her health began to fail her a few years back and she lived the rest of her life in a nursing home, unable to do many of the things she so enjoyed. We are so thankful that today she is bustling around in heaven tending to everyone's needs...what she did best. We know that her new body works perfectly and she is once again in grandpa's arms. Today her 8 living children, all 26 grandchildren and spouses, and many of the 34 great-grandchildren were all in one place. This NEVER happens, so we had Jodi, our wonderful photographer, come and capture the moment. It was amazing to all be together. We will all cherish the photos. We had a wonderful day of catching up, sharing our favorite stories of grandma, laughing and crying together. Grandma leaves behind quite a legacy.
