Grandma, we will miss you!

This past October, Ted and I got the chance to visit my great-grandma in Colorado. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to have him meet the eldest member of my family.

On the ride from Greeley to Arvada, Ted asked me what my grandmother is like. "Feisty," I responded. I don't know of any other word that better describes her. During every family function I can remember, she was always the center of activity. From giving her kids and grandkids a hard time to making sure that everyone was well fed and comfortable, grandma had a knack for stirring up activity, getting things done, and making people feel at home. No visitor left her side without realizing he had spent time with a very special person.

Great-grandma passed on the final day of 2007, but she will not be soon forgotten. We loved her and will miss her, but we thank God that we were blessed to know her.
