My husbands Grandma passed away last month and her funeral was the first Saturday of this month. She was a wonderful woman who tried really hard to feel like she could connect with others. The Chiropractor had stories of how she would tell him that they were related through this relative and she would tell him stories of this ancestor. She would talk to me about her visits to PA because she knew my family came from there. She would show off the artwork that her grandsons did that she proudly displayed on her walls. As well as tell stories of when some of them were little that made her laugh because she loved them and liked remembering them as little boys. She was proud of them and their accomplishments. Although I am not sure if she ever straight out said it to anyone particularly. She would regularly tell everyone else about what her children and grandchildren were up to. I believe it gave her a sense of belonging and pride. She loved her family. She always made me feel welcomed and I was grateful to know that she loved me as well. She also loved being Grandma Great and was excited every time she saw the great grandchildren and loved to be loved by the children. Here are a few pictures of her graveside service and our little family. She will be dearly missed not just by us but by all those who knew her.
