We'll Miss You Grandma

My Grandma Bennett passed away on Sunday morning and we are going to miss her very much.

Grandma has been ready to go for some time so it's bitter sweet for all of us. I'm excited for her to re-united with my Grandpa Bennett who has been gone for about 25 years. One of my most precious memories of my Grandma is her love for Grandpa. She spoke of him so sweetly and has missed him greatly since the day he left this life. He was perfect in her eyes and in essence perfect in mine. Grandma has been looking forward to being with her "Sweetheart" once again for many years, so I'm happy for her.

It's always hard to lose a loved one but there's something different about losing a Grandparent. Grandparents are the people in your lives that seem to love you unconditionally. My Grandma Bennett loved me and I always knew it. She was very vocal with her feelings for her kids and grand kids and we all new we were her "little sweethearts". I love her too and I am going to miss her more than words can say. However, I am grateful for being blessed with such a good woman to influence and bless my life. I'm a lot like my Grandma in many ways and I will always cherish those characteristics.

Grandma had a very spunky fun personality, she always had us laughing. I have very fond memories of spending time with her one on one and she always made me feel special. I loved to sleep at Grandma's because I got to sleep in her bed with her and in the morning we always had eggs, bacon and toast with some sunny delight! (and I got to drink all the Diet Coke that I wanted....heheheh)!

I love you Grandma and look forward to being with you again!

I got to have a long good visit with Grandma this spring when I went home to Utah for a couple weeks. We had a lot of laughs and she knew who I was. (she was confused sometimes about who was who) We took this picture with my phone and she looked at my phone and then looked at my mom's and said " I can tell you have the cheaper of the two". Silly Grandma!
