Resting in Peace... Finally
Megan and Ashley at Grandma's gravesite

Well, it's officially in, the headstone made its way to the grave this weekend. Just in time for Memorial Day. After almost being put on the wrong grave and missing in action for a week or two...

The girls and I took some flowers and a pinwheel to the grave today. My mom loved pinwheels.

The stone is beautiful. Crystal - if you are reading this, you did a really good job with it. Thanks sis! My mom also loved the color pink, we thought a pretty pink stone would do the job.

The inscriptions also look really good. We wanted to be sure that even though Grandma didn't get buried, that she had a final resting place and somewhere to be was remembered as well. And we thought since these two wonderful and feisty ladies were inseperable and always together in life, that it only seemed fitting in the afterlife.

It seems like only yesterday that we lost Mom and Grandma. But it feels like an eternity has already passed. I called my aunt Pam to let her know it had finally arrived, and she said it best, "now they can finallly rest." And I think I can too.

Our little Daysha is home

Well, it's official. Daysha is with Kassie Jo and Jesse now. Thanks to you both for taking this on. I, personally, couldn't be more proud of the both of you. I love you! Our family has its issues, but we know how to really come together.

Chelsey, if you are reading this, I am proud of you too. I know you are working hard to get things together. I love you too!

This past Sunday, Pam, the girls and I went to visit my mom's gravesite. The grave stone is STILL not there, but is supposed to be there this Friday. It was a nice afternoon and I am really glad we all got to go together. Not only in honor of Mother's Day, but it was also my mom's birthday on May 16th. She would have been 52.

I just know that Grandma and Mom are up there in Heaven laughing about this orange cone. Mom probably wants to keep it, because she was that type of person. She always went against the grain and the "normal" thing to do. Maybe I will have to hi - jack the cone and put it somewhere for safe keeping. hehe

Pam was given a pine tree in honor of Grandma's donation of her body to science. We are in the process of checking with Clinton City to see if they would allow us to plant this at the cemetery, where it would always stand in honor of Grandma and her sacrifice.

Here are some photos we took of the flowers Crystal took, and the ones we took (with the cone). Pam bought some bleeding hearts, one of my mom's and grandma's favorite type of flowers.
I know Pam is going to kill me for putting this picture on, but oh well, she has to find me first...





As soon as the stone is finally in place, I will post pictures.
