Today was one of those harder days in life. My Grandma C. was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer less than three weeks ago, and today she went home. She was an amazing 89 years YOUNG and acted that way up until just recently. I can't even tell you what an inspiration she was and still is to me.
She and my Grandpa (who passed when I was only 8 years old) were absolutely head over heals in love with each other. She talked of him even last week, in a manor that two teenage love birds would. :) I am finding comfort that she is dancing with him now, after 20 years of being apart. She told me more than once, that she saw great deal of my Grandfather in Tom. What an amazing thing to say, knowing how much she loved and respected him.
She found so much joy in her grand children and of course great-grand children. Maddie was her "little joy" and she couldn't get enough of her. I am posting a picture of Madilyn and her G.G. that was taken at the end of August, where they are dancing to swing music. :D The other images are from our family reunion in July. Those are the times we will not let Maddie forget.
We will miss you Grandma, but know that you are with out pain, and in the arms of your soul mate. Peace be with my Mom, Dad and the rest of my family in this time.

So sorry to hear about "GiGi" (as Maddie calls her). She was an amazing woman to say the least. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family at this time. Hang in there. We love you all.
I am so sorry Lauren. It all happened so fast. What a blessing for Grandma though not to have to struggle in pain. What a great thought to know that she is now dancing with her man. She lived an amazing fulfilled life. Let the memories live on - I am so glad you made that book for her. Lots of hugs, let us know if we can do anything.
Lauren, I am so sorry for your loss. It is piece of mind knowing she is with your Grandpa. My Grandma passed away in May, very suddenly too, and it does make it alot easier knowing they are with the one they loved the most. It is still so painful though! You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers! Love, The VandenHouts.
Lauren, what you wrote was proof that your Grandma was such an amazing person!! Your words brought tears to my eyes and I can literally picture her dancing in Heaven. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Amanda
Oh my gosh, this blog just brought me to tears. You can tell just by looking at this woman's smile that she was a sweet lady. I hope that I am that much in love when I am 89! You are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and give you love and strength during this difficult time!

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your grandmother. She sounds like she was an amazing woman. Know that today, all the way around the world in Cambodia, i am thinking of you, your family and praying for peace.
