About 3 weeks ago my grandmother passed away on her 88th birthday. It was very sudden. The night before we were all talking and laughing at dinner as normal. That morning she got up, got dressed, and made her bed. She never went anywhere without making her bed.
We all loved my grandmother very much, and we all miss her. She was an amazing woman who had an amazin life. She left home at 17 to get a job to help support the farm. She was working as a switchboard operator in LA on the day the Japanese bombed Perl Harbor. She ran a college bookstore that made a tremendous amount of money.
She saved everything. She had ration books from world war 2. She kept every card her husband ever gave her. She had my mother's Kindergarden report card.
We had a memorial service for her last week with just a few local friends and family. My sister made a great video using pictures from my grandmother's (extensive) collection. I hope to have it linked here at some point, but we're having some trouble getting it on the intarwebz.
I loved my grandmother very much, and I miss her.
