Last Friday (the day before the move) we got news that my Grandma June had a heart attack. Grandma was almost 94 and in an Alzheimer wing at a nursing home. My mom and uncle eres able to fly out that day and spend the weekend with her. Grandma died peacefully, Tuesday June 9th, the day after Mom left. One of her sons and daughters in law were at her side. Her memorial service will be the July 4th weekend so that more people can get there. I'm glad that we're close enough to drive.
Honestly we didn't know how she had survived this long, but we did know that it was not a life that she would chose to live. June was feisty, to say the least. She was a strong, accomplished woman. She didn't take anyone's crap, but conversely, she loved just as fiercely. I can still remember her laughing as she hugged me tightly. She will be missed, but we know that she's in a better place now, no longer in pain, probably breaking up a fight between Grandpa and her sister :)
Love you, Grandma June...

It's sad when a family member passes, but this was a beautiful tribute to her- she sounds like a wonderful woman. Thank goodness for a knowledge of the Plan of Happiness :)
