Last week, my grandma Gloria passed away suddenly and thankfully, peacefully.
She was surrounded by her husband and daughters. All of her grandchildren, except Elsa in Bolivia :( were able to see her and say goodbye. What a blessing that was!
We had a burial service last Wednesday and had the chance to spend a couple days at my Grandpa's house. It was so nice to be there with him and for him to spend time with Gwen.
It was wierd to be at their house and not hear her laugh or say "Oh, Bert" every once in a while. We had a good time looking through old pictures and I was inspired by my Grandma's amazing organizing and labeling of photos all the way from when she was a little girl. A reminder to me about how important it is to write things down so they are not forgotten.
What a blessing it was to be reminded at Easter about the resurrection and the hope we have in Christ. She is with God and what a great place to be.
She will be greatly missed.

Thanks for sharing this, Linnea. A recent memory I have of your grandma was the look of pride she had when Gwen opened up her sock monkey at her one year birthday party.
Love and peace to your family.
