Thanks for writing a sweet tribute. You Furr's are always so thoughtful. I hadn't realized that she and Grandpa Harley had been married for so long before he passed away. I'd like to know what he is like!
Krista,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. She looks like a wonderful lady and it sounds like she led a very full, happy life. 42 great-grand-children: That is quite the legacy to leave. It makes you realize the difference one person can make. We're thinking of you and hope the next few days bring sweet peace of fond memories. What a beautiful tribute.
P.S. Greg's grandfather was in the same care facility just a few years ago. We visited several times and it is a very nice place.
I'm sorry Krista:( what a great tribute and sweet pictures to remember her by!!! Thinking of you!!
Boo, that was nice of you to put this tribute together. The pictures with Ava and Christian are lovely.--GrannyO
