She was an amazing Woman, Wife, Mother, and Grandmother. We will truly miss her. My heart aches for our family as we must yet again experience another untimely passing, but knowing she is now reunited with those who have passed on gives us some comfort.
I am sad that Alice will not ever really know her. She loved Alice and all of the Grandchildren so much. I only have pictures of her holding grandbabies, (above is newborn Rodrick from last Halloween). She was talented, generous, loving, and sweet. I love that my husband has inherited many of these qualities and I will always be able to remember her by seeing him. Grandma, we will miss you!
