David's beloved grandma and great grandma to our kids passed away a few days ago at the age of 93. We loved her a lot, and she loved us. She was one of those people that just radiated joy and her smile lit up the room. You just couldn't help but be happy when you were around her. She suffered a stroke a few years before David and I were married at the age of 74. I actually had only met grandma once pre-stroke. She wasn't expected to make it and she did. Her life changed a lot. She wasn't able to walk or talk much and had to find creative ways to communicate. I am so glad our kids had a chance to meet her and get to know her and vice versa. I wouldn't trade that. As I hug my kids a little tighter and think back on many, many wonderful memories with grandma I ask you to do something in her honor - Be Happy, Choose Joy - that was something that grandma was a master at.
