She was my grandmother. She was an incredible strong woman. She wrote a few books.
There's more about her online than I can hope to capture here.
She has a special case at The Peace Abbey located in the Chapel where we all last saw her at the concert.
That's her, front and center, surrounded by friends and family on what turned out to be her last outing. She loved every minute of it. Smiling like she was below.
For such a well written and involved woman the worst thing that could have happened did. Her mind failed long before the body. She's been struggling with Alzheimer's for years now, but her struggle is over.
She is in peace now.
She was ready and has peacefully waiting from what I heard. She was not in any pain, had even recovered from Pneumonia that came on a week or so after we saw her. She also had an infection in her foot that healed in the stretch of time. But she passed in peace.
Her laugh at the family reunions delighting in the little ones or the antics of the talent/variety show. She positively loved the skit where one person hid behind someone else and their hands tried to do simple things like brushing teeth, eating food, brushing hair. Her smile and laugh will live in me forever.
She was rarely angry, always willing to listen. Even with the disease she wanted to hear what I did where I work. I pulled out a book of images and we talked, she asked amazing questions demonstrating that even with the disease her mind was still sharp and inquisitive.
I will miss you Grandma.
