RIP Grandma!


Zach's grandma Shirley passed away yesterday. It was so hard but we knew it was coming in the next few days. She had a couple illnesses affecting her already and then she suffered a stroke and was taken to the hospital. We went everyday and visited her. The kids each made her a card and gave it to her 2 days before she passed. I was one of the last people in the hospital, along with Bob & Linda. We went on Sunday evening to see her. She was pretty unconscious and her breathing was very labored and was about 6 secs in between each breath. I brought her fresh flowers and the 3 of us sat with her for a few hours. I made sure when we left that I rubbed her arm and leg and told her "Love you Grandma, sleep good." We got the dreaded call the next morning that she had passed around 7am. Zach and I went to the hospital that morning and said our goodbyes. That was the toughest part. She looked much more at peace though. Her services are this Saturday and she will be cremated and buried next to her husband Art. Shirley was so sweet and loved our 3 kiddos. We loved having her over to our house at Halloween and 4th of July and we always saw her on Xmas Eve too. We love you Grandma and are so glad that you are in a better place, in no pain and with your hubby!!
