A Final Visit

Thursday night was our last visit with my grandma. It was nice to see the whole family, and to see the beautiful misty rose coffin and flowers that complimented her beauty well. I took many photos to remember this day but am only sharing those that pay tribute to her. All I will say about her presence this night is that she was absolutely beautiful; different that I remember her, but a final "picture" in my mind of a wonderful and most important woman in my life.

Grandma's service award for 20 years the Automobile club, and a poem written by her friends. Also scattered around were her clowns; her trademark per say


Back in 2003, Jim and I purchased a star for grandma - this is the certificate in her honor. The Kaleidoscope music box was one I gave her back in 1989 for Christmas.

The pins we attached to her dress - Grandma LOVED Disneyland which she passed down to us. The cross pin was one I received from one of my employees, Yolanda, and I thought it best to give it to her.
