My Family

Bill, Cameron & Me

On Saturday, October 25th, my Grandmother Helen George passed away. She was 93 years old. This was my mom's mother & my last living grandparent. Her funeral was on Tuesday the 28th.

I did not get to spend a great deal of time with my Memmy while I was growing up. I did not get that time with her until about the year 2000 when my grandfather passed. This is along story & for those who know me, know why. I can honestly say that I am grateful for what time I did get with her. Early in this Blog I have a very special picture...a 4 generation picture of my Memmy, Mom , myself & Cameron. I will cherish that always & tell Cameron all about my Grandmother.

The only time that my Grandmother's grandchildren were all together at the same time were in 2000 at my Grandfather's funeral & now at her funeral.

Where my Grandmother went to church her whole life was where the after gathering was. We took this opportunity to reflect on her & catch up. We took photos in the church of all us grandchildren. It was special.

Memmy--I am grateful for the time we got together. I am especially thankful that you got to meet Cameron. I promise to show him that picture & tell him all about you. You were always so special. Even though growing up we did not get to see you often, you never forgot our birthdays & Christmas. Thank you for that Memmy & please know that we will miss you. I know you are at peace with God & not in pain any longer. I love you Memmy!
