Grandma

This is a happy and sad post at the same time.   My grandma Sweaney passed away on Monday the 28th.    We knew it was coming but you never fully prepare yourself.   I know she did not suffer and is in a better place now - visiting with family and grandpa - waiting on the rest of us to join her.  

Yesterday was her funeral.   It was great to see so many family and friends turn out to remember her.   I got to visit with cousins I haven't seen in years.   Sad that it had to be under those circumstances.  

I have so many memories with my grandma and grandpa.    We spent so much time at their house growing up.   I feel very blessed to have had my grandparents in my life as long as I did.   I'm glad Grandma was able to see me get married - something she asked me about a lot!  

Thought I'd share some great pictures of her in remembrance............
