Grandma

My grandma Carlson died yesterday. My grandpa died just over 2 years ago and she really hadn't been herself since. It was a very peaceful death. She laid down to take a nap and never got up. My uncle was there with her. I am sad, but relieved at the same time. She missed my grandpa so much and it's so wonderful to know that they are together again . . . perfect and with the Lord.

I love you, Grandma. I'll miss you.

(and as a side comment, I LOVE that cross painting in the background. It's even better in person. I know you can't really get the full effect in the picture, but, trust me, it's great!)
