In Loving Memory

On May 2, EJ's paternal grandmother, passed away after 5 months of hospice care at the age of 94. She was a remarkable woman: strong, determined, generous and passionate about prayer. Her strong Catholic faith was seen by all who knew her and in her prime, she was a very social lady. We will miss her greatly. I am thankful to have had 16 years knowing her and am grateful for having been a recipient of her faithful praying. 

Her love language was cooking and feeding those she loved. 
As evidenced by my kiddos at her table :)
Her happy place

November 2015- soaking up as much history with Nana as we could
Our entire family attended her viewing and funeral on May 11, 2016 with a luncheon following. It was an honor and privilege to hear EJ give the eulogy (his 3rd). He is a gifted speaker under difficult circumstances and he did an incredible job.
Our "shore" vacation will never be the same. We will treasure the memores in our hearts forever.

Loved seeing the pictures of each kid with their great grandma.
