Goodbye to Grandma Great

Thanks to all of you for your kind words of sympathy and support regarding the passing of my Grandma Great. I really appreciate all of your comments, emails and phone calls last week; they really helped me get through it. Obviously, when you have a great grandmother who has been around for a century, you know you'll have to grieve her passing eventually ... I knew it was coming, but it was hard to deal with it, being so far away and unable to attend the funeral. The funeral was on Friday (2-22-08) and my family said it was just beautiful. My dad spoke, so he emailed me the words he had prepared. I was so touched to discover that my dad read most of my post about Grandma Great (from this blog) in his speech at the funeral. It made me feel like I was a part of the service and it gave me the closure I needed. So I want to tell my dad, THANK YOU, for including me in Grandma Great's funeral ... I love you, Dad!
