Loss

Grandma, Great-Grandma, we will miss you! Thank you for all the things you always did that made all of us feel so special.

A special ornament at Christmas time, symbolic of the year (a swimmer, engaged, first house, baby's 1st Christmas...), underlining the most meaningful parts of cards, sending a card in the mail for every special occasion, always remembering every important event and holiday, aprons, making bread rolls in a tree shape, playing the piano and singing songs, helping me learn how to sing 'On Eagles Wings' for church, playing dominoes in the summer when we were off of school, letting me stay at your house during J-term from my first year of college, not being upset when I didn't have the house very clean when you returned home, letting me learn about gardening (a little) by helping water, weed and care for your roses when you were out of town, beautiful needlepoint work for our wedding, hugs and smiles always.
We will miss you and all the good you brought into our lives. I know we will always feel your presence through yellow flowers in the garden and every time we decorate our Christmas tree with ornaments lovingly chosen by you.
K, J and L
