We will always Love you and miss you Grandma. Our thoughts and Prayers are with you all. Daniel, Melissa, Liv, & Emmett Edmonds
She told me a year after BJ and I got married to make sure I told my kids one day how much their Great Grannie would love them. I told her she would need to tell them herself, because there was no way I could imagine a world where she wouldn’t meet my kids. I’m so grateful I was right! Kellan and Allie knew their Grannie well, and already loved her beyond what I could have ever hoped for.
I was able to FaceTime her last week on her last good day. It was 6am on the west coast so I was fresh out of bed with a bun on the top of my head. I cried and cried and probably totally freaked her out, but she was reassuring and calming. She even cracked a joke at the end and told me not to let her catch me with my hair like that again.
All of of our hearts are broken and heavy, but we are so grateful for the simple treasure of her life well spent. We will be living in the blessing of her fruit for the rest of our lives. I could write for days and days and never scratch the surface of who my Grannie was and how this world, and my life, is better because she was in it. She was the salt of the earth. She is proof that status and privilege mean nothing- that family and faith are everything.
I love you my sweet, sweet Grannie. Don’t you ever forget it.
