Grandma Jo

Sam's grandmother recently passed away this week. I would just like a to write a little message to express my praise of this woman. When I met Grandma Jo dementia was starting to set in, so I was never able to know the "real" Grandma Jo. But I think the Grandma Jo I met was still pretty amazing. She was so sweet to me, every time I saw her she would give me a big hug and kiss and tell me how pretty I was. And when I got pregnant with Grace she was so excited that her Sammy was having a baby. The picture shown was taken the day before she had her stroke. She has fallen a few days before and that's why she has the bruises on her face. But she's still beautiful. She may not have ever remembered my name, but she always remembered that I was Sam's wife, and welcomed me with open arms. I love Grandma Jo and I am so happy that she is now back with her husband, Tony, and I know they are working together in heaven hand in hand.
