I haven't posted lately because there's been so much going on I don't know where to begin. I guess I'll start with my maw-maw. She passed away on November 7
th. She was 92 years old and had been digressing for the past six months. Her body was just old and worn out. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all die of old age? My maw-maw was a wonderful woman. She had a positive attitude even though her life gave her a lot of reasons to be bitter. That woman could COOK. She could sing and play guitar. She told me that I look a lot like her and my dad tells me that I sing like her. I have so many great memories of her, and I can't help but smile or laugh with every thought. She would always stand at the door and watch us drive away until we were out of her sight. There's so much more I could say about her. I love her dearly and I can feel her near me. She requested that I sing "His Eye Is On the Sparrow" for her funeral service, and I swear to you, I could feel her singing with me during the service. It was amazing. I'll miss you, Maw-Maw, but not too much because I can feel you watching over me.

Long stem roses from each of her great-grandkids who were able to be there.

Sorry to hear about your Maw-Maw. It's always hard to lose a loved one.
So so so wish we could have been there! Being big with child brings great limitations. Mawmaw is a great lady and role model for everyone, I will miss her.
That was a quick visit, wish we could have squeezed in more. Nice to see and be with so much of the family.
That was a great day. I will never forget my Maw maw's funeral. She deserved the best. I know they are very excited in heaven to have such a beautiful angel among them.
