Over the Memorial weekend my great grandmother passed away. Her health has not been the best for quite some time now. She was 94 years old, and diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on her pancreas. She chose not to go through any treatments. She passed away peacefully, in her sleep on May 30, 2011 (Memorial Day). I wish I were able to visit with her one last time. We were actually wanting to plan a trip out to Chicago to visit her before she passed, unfortunately we could not get there soon enough & ended up going to Chicago for her funeral instead. I am just glad that the last conversation I had with her she sounded better than she had in a long time. I got to tell her how much I loved & missed her.
I had not seen my grandma since she lived in California with my parents. So, about 5 years ago. We would talk on the phone frequently & she always caught me up on what was going on in her life & vise-versa. When I got married, almost 2yrs ago, my grandma told me how badly she wanted to attend and how happy she was for Dave & I. However, due to her health, she was on oxygen & unable to fly out to Utah for it. We put together some photos on a digital frame & sent it to her, since pictures were the next best thing to actually being there.
We miss & love you Grandma Liz! Until we meet again...
