A sad day for us

My Grandmother passed away on Sunday. She was my only living grandparent and was my mother's mother. Grandma May was such a treasure! We would go to her house to eat ice cream and sweets of all kinds. She called herself "Grable Gurdy" although I'm not exactly sure what that meant.  Hanging out with Grandma was something we looked forward to. 

For the past 7 years she has had alzheimer's disease. It is such an awful disease, and she was in a nursing home. She passed away at the age of 96.

Grandma May
What I remember most about my Grandma is her willingness to poke fun at herself and her smiles. She was gentle and very sweet. I wish she could have known my children. She was so unselfish in many ways.

I love you Grandma
