A Sad Goodbye

My grandma died on Nov. 14 2007, which also happened to be my 30th birthday. She had been frail for some time and went into the hospital a few days before she passed away, but it was still quite sudden. She was 84 years old and lived a long and wonderful life. She has many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to be proud of and who will carry on her memory. It was wonderful to see all of my mom's family in one place, but also sad that my grandma was not there. I am glad to part of this large extended family and will treasure the memories of family trips to Iowa.

I could not have said it better myself. I too was so glad to be a part of everything. Thanks for all your support and encouragement to help me get there. I could not have done it without you.
