Rest in Peace

Last night, Mom's mother Joan ("Grammy" to us) passed away.
 A vivacious woman who loved life, a gracious hostess, socialite, homemaker, artist, conversationalist, grandmother... and so much more.
We will miss her sorely! :(
I'd like to post some pictures from her life:



As the bride in "Tom Thumb's Wedding" at school - 7 years old

 A sketch of her, by her father, a portrait artist

Here she is with Dick, her future husband

Joan and Dick

With Mom and Micah!


Greetings as we arrive at her house at one of our many happy, precious visits...









Upwords was her favorite game --and boy, was she good at it! :)



Looking at Charlotte, one of her great-grandchildren...



We all had such fun times and visits with Grammy!


Four generations








Grammy was a very special person, and we will miss her terribly. :( :(

    Elisha, you did a beautiful job chronicling your Grammy's life and your family's many visits with her. She was clearly a beautiful person inside and out. We are so sorry to hear of her passing and will surely continue to lift all of you up in prayer.

    Elisha,

    I am so very sorry that your grammy has passed from this life! :( It brought back memories of when my own grandmother passed away, and I understand the feeling of loss.

    I am so sorry! I will pray for you during this time:)

    Kind Regards,
    Kezia
