Flashback Friday #22

In Remembrance...

My great grandma passed away this week. She was 95 years old and was READY to go, having been bed ridden and not even able to hold her own head up anymore. Her Memorial Service was yesterday and it was a happy time knowing that she wasn't suffering and knowing that she was now up in heaven with great grandpa (which is what she wanted for 9 years since his passing)!

Here is a picture of me and her from last March at my bridal shower. This is not how I remember her in my mind... I think I'll always remember the way she looked while I was growing up.

I love you great grandma!

Head over to Christopher&Tia's for more Flashbacks!

  4. I think we always remember people as want to remember them. I'm so sorry for your loss, but it sounds like her being 95 years old, she must have lived a long and adventerous life <3
