A Celebration

As most of you know, today my Grandma Lila woke up in heaven. She was one month shy of being 89 years old. She was a "tell it as it is" woman and I loved that about her. She would always comment on my stubbornness which made me laugh...wonder where I got it from.

Today lots of the family were able to gather around, look at pictures, and tell stories. Funny ones and sad ones, but all of them with love. We were truly blessed to have her as a Grandma and I will miss her more than I can even imagine. I was fortunate enough to see her on Monday and give her one last hug. Here is some of the celebration of her life:It's amazing what she kept. I found 3 color pages I made for her that she had kept all these years. One was a thank you note, one was a happy birthday card and the other was a Christmas card. It touched me more than I could have imagined that she kept these.
Through tears and giggles we saw all of us grow up in pictures. Through bad hair, bad glasses, and bad clothes!
So very happy I was here today to celebrate with everyone her life. I love and miss you all. Especially you Grandma.
