Grandma B

On July 27th 2012 the world lost one of the sweetest ladies to ever live, my Grandma B. This is a hard post to write because I already miss her dearly. She was the greatest grandma, and all of her grand kids were lucky to have her. She wasn't just my grandma, but one of my best friends. I knew that I could talk to her about anything. She never was to busy for me, and always listened with compassion, no matter how small the problem. When she prayed for me or my family I felt her prayers. She was one of the most spiritual ladies I have ever known. When I grow up I want to be just like her. Growing up her house was one of my most favorite places to be. Eating applesauce squares, canned (home made) pickles and pickle beans, playing with cousins, and mostly just talking with her. Luckily the few months before she passed she never lost her mind or sense of humor. She knew she was going to go soon, and we were all able to talk to her till the day she died. The day before she passed I was able to go and have a conversation with her and say goodbye. It was a little more difficult for her to talk by then, but she still did. In the last few visits I had with her we mostly talked about the church. I think she was trying to share her testimony  with me for the last few times so I would never forget how she felt about the church. I won't ever forget the last few conversations I had with her. She loved her great grand kids as well, and my kids know it! They call her bumble bee and will never forget her, even if it is through stories I tell. I will sing her special songs to them so they never forget, "You are My Sunshine", "I Love you a Bushel and a Peck", and "Run a long Home". Her funeral was one of the best I have ever been too, and I left there wanting to be a better person. Grandma B I love you and will miss you! I can't wait for my little boy to be born so he can be named after you. Case was her maiden name and will be our babies name. For now he can get to know you in heaven. Hold him close and send him down when he is ready.

This is the last picture I took of Grandma. This was Blair's 3rd bday party. Grandma was always putting the present bows in her hair or ours.

A couple of years ago we were lucky to go stay the night in Ogden with Grandma. We visited a lot of places she had frequented growing up. We saw the house she grew up in as part of her tour. It was so much fun.

My kids were lucky enough to experience one of Grandma's famous Halloween parties! I always loved her parties. This last one she gave was at my house and the kids had a blast.
