On June 7, Grandma passed away at age 95... Even though she suffered a stroke in early May and then wrestled with increased loss of vision and hearing, it was still sad to say good-bye on June 16. We love you, Grandma! We took the above photo at Converse Cemetary shortly after the graveside service on June 16. After the service, we went to "the Cow Place" for dinner and then back to Warsaw.
On June 17, we started the process of saying good-bye to Grandma's house... I cannot tell you how many times that I ate at that table or sat in this kitchen...
Grandma's piano is the cornerstone of her living room...
Grandma's den featured so many pictures on the walls, Grandma and Grandpa's recliners, and treasured momentos... When I was in middle school, I slept on this couch after we moved to Warsaw, and I remember seeing the "eye" in the pictures behind the recliners :)
Grandma's bedroom...
I remember dashing to the step and pounding on the doorbell when we would arrive for a visit at 1040 South Buffalo. I will never forget her post office box (63) or her phone number (267-6993).
