Week of February 16, 2009

This week was a very busy and very different week. It started out like any other week, but by Tuesday things took a turn. I got a call from mom at work, saying that grandma was not doing well. I rushed up to NH that afternoon to spend some time with her, which I will forever be grateful for. Unfortunately, she lost her battle on Wednesday morning. We love her very much and will miss her dearly. THank you to all of my friends and family for your wonderful support! I will remember it always.

The following is the poem I read at her funeral, which sums up what a wonderful lady she was...

Thank you for the gift of love,
now you're sharing it up above,
You had many things to say,
All in a caring way.
You always saw good in everyone,
No matter what they've done.
You were always the one we could all lean on
Even though it must have felt like a ton.
You were always the strength of the family,
Now we must let you rest calmly.
As we say goodbye,
as tears roll down our eyes,
I know your place in heaven has a good view,
Because you're telling God,
I need to keep an eye on a few.
I know you will always be in our hearts and mind.
So Grandma,
I must go, but I'll never forget you're one of a kind.

I love you Grandma!!
