She loved to laugh!


Today we lost Jason's maternal grandmother. She was 88 and had been battling lots of health issues for several years. She was a lovely lady. She was the mother of 9 children and raised them on a little farm in a little Oklahoma town. She cooked meals from their garden and collected eggs from their hen house. She loved her husband and stood by him through thick and thin. Like all families there were ups and downs... children going off to war, marriages, grandchildren, divorces, moves across country. But one thing remained constant - grandma's laugh. She always had a smile on her face and a laugh in her heart. When she met our boys in April, she held them and laughed and laughed, the way that only a great-grandma can. She was a lovely woman and the glue that held a family together. We will miss her dearly, but will always treasure her laugh.
