Well I am so happy for Grandma. She lived such a great life. She truly was such an example to all of us. I got home and have not been able to quit thinking about all that has happened the past few weeks. We are so blessed she went the way she did. I am struggling with the fact that she is really gone. It doesn't seem real. I know she made all of us feel like we were her favorite. That is what is so special. She loved all of us in unique ways. All of us have memories of alot of the same things. But all of us have memories that are so different and so dear to our hearts. Being there and spending time with all of you was a time I will never forget. I don't know but I felt like a little girl again with all of you. And the tenderness of all of us practicing the hymn in the blue room. That moment I know will always be a special memory for all of us. I will never forget it. I love all of you. We have a great family. What a great Mother of the family Grandma has been. I hope that all of us can follow in the footsteps of Grandad and Grandma! They could not have led the way for all of us in a better way than the way that they did. Like Shauna said "Grandma ended her life on a high note." Let us all go through out the days and remember that. And the sweet smile she always had. I know that I will miss her and the great friend she was to me. I love you all and wish all of you the best. Take care! Love Jamie

Well I don't know where to start. As I have been thinking of last weekend. I can't help but think how blessed we are. What a great family we have. And great memories. For those of you who were not able to come, we thought of you and missed you so much. We know as we have gotten older how busy life can be. But each moment we are able to share together is truly awsome. Grandma is one of the greatest women I know and am sure you all feel the same way.As she will be turning 89 this year, I can say she is amazing and has given all of us inspiration to be the best we can be. I look forward to seeing everyone on her 90th birthday. What a great reunion that will be. I love you all and hope you have a great rest of the summer!! Here are a few slide shows of the 4th. (All those who have pictures from the 4th please contact me and I can give you the info. to post or I will do it for you. It would be great to share pictures from such a wonderful weekend.)
