It was an incredibly hard week last week as I lost my second grandparent in two and a half months. My wonderful "brown" grandma passed away at Maryville where she had been living for 6 months with the horrible diagnosis of Alzheimers. As I said at my grandmother's rosary this past weekend, I choose not to remember that short and difficult time of her life, rather the wonderful 33 years I spent with her. She was such a wonderful, kind, gentle and giving woman and she will remain deep in my heart for the rest of my life. Just like my Blue Gramps, I am convinced she was on a fast track to heaven and is there now, pain free and with all her family and friends that went before her. I am so proud of my dad and how he handled the passing of his mom....he was the one who took care of my gram the most when she was in need and helped hold the entire family together this weekend as we tried to mourn her death.
