My Grandmother lived an exemplary life, full of love, happiness, and service. She passed away on Friday evening at the age of 92. We are sad and will miss her dearly, but we know she is reunited with my Grandpa Max (whom my little Max is named after). I'm sure that she and Gramps are happy to be together again. She was so ready to go and had been in agonizing pain for several months. Grandma was an amazing woman with a strong love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She always had a smile on her face and uplifting words for everyone she met. I remember her saying things like, "Life is too short to be depressed or feel sorry for ourselves!" or "You make your own happiness" or "The only things that matter in life are The Gospel and our families." She and I had a special bond that maybe only she and I understood. I have so many great memories and they will last forever.
I'm going to her funeral in Utah this week. I'll take just Ruby with me since she can still fly for free. It will be nice to be with my mom and other family members and I know we'll have a good time remembering Grandma and paying her tribute.
I love you, Grandma Dear!

What incredible pictures you have with her! She seems like one neat woman. I hope you have a safe trip to Utah.
It's hard to lose a grandparent, even if it is time for them to go. I'm sorry! But what beautiful memories and pictures...I ditto Julie. Be safe!
Those pictures are so great. I love that you are pushing her on the swing. Sorry for your loss.
It's tough when you someone so close to your heart passes. I think that photo of the 4 generations is so special.
Wishing you the best. I am glad you'll see your family here in Utah, and you have such nice pictures with your Grandma.
