Glen's grandma passed away this past Wednesday unexpectedly. We loved Grandma Wanda so much. She was the BEST at remembering every important event in each of her kids, grand kids, and great grand kids lives. Every birthday, anniversary, Christmas and other occasions we always received a card in the mail from her. She is going to be greatly missed by us and many others.
We were lucky to have her living close by. I am so glad that she came to Maggie's blessing and I was able to capture this candid shot with her. My favorite picture from that day!

Thanks for posting that Kendi, we really wish we could have been there.
That picture is going to be a treasure forever.
So sorry for the loss of Glen's sweet Grandma.
Thanks again for letting me stay with you! It was a great weekend!
I love the pictures of Grandma and Maggie! Madison got a Birthday card from her just two days before she died - maybe the last one she wrote!
Love,
Melecia
Thanks, Kendi. I loved that photo when you blogged about the blessing, but it's nice to have both of them. I do much Love Wanda and the legacy she left us.
Always,
Mom/Gram
Thanks for posting those lovely pictures Kendi and for your hospitality while we visited during the funeral. I'm so glad your family had some exposure to Don and Wanda while living so close. They have brought a very special spiritual feeling to our family. We will miss her and we will carry on her legacy of love for one another.

That really is a precious picture! It was good seeing you guys last weekend but sad that it was because of a funeral!
Such sweet pictures. Wanda was such a dear, sweet, lovely, and truly genuine person. I hope I can be more like her. She truly left a wonderful legacy of love for all of her family!
That was really special that she came for Maggie's blessing and that you were able to capture those sweet moments with the two of them.
I'm so glad we were able to come to the funeral. We love all of our family so much and it is always so wonderful being with our kids even under sad circumstances.
Love you lots,
Susan
