In loving memory.

Yesterday, our grandmother Susie passed on in her sleep. We'd gotten to spend the last two weekends visiting her (along with the rest of the family), which was nice. We scooted up her 90th birthday party a few weeks to last Saturday, so she got to see everyone, and know she was surrounded by people who loved her. Here's a photo of her with her beautiful youngest granddaughter:


Grammy was a knitter. Each grandchild (and child, of course!) has a lovely afghan she made for them, as well as countless other knitting products - lovely hooded sweaters, scarves, etc. She did needle-lace as well, and crochet, and she's one of the few people I've actually knitted something for. She wasn't able to knit without pain, and then she couldn't knit at all during the last few years; her arthritis just got too bad.

I hope there's lots of wonderful yarn for her to play with in Heaven!

  1. I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure she is pain-free and knitting away with her ole knittin' buddies.
