Goodbye, Grandma Barb.


Dear Laney,

We got the awful news today that your Great-Grandmother Barbara passed away. It was especially sad, because she didn't get to meet you, and you didn't get to know what a great woman she was.

I'm sure someday, your Dad and I will explain to you what happens when people you love pass away, but in the meantime I think we should concentrate on how amazing Barbara was, and how lucky we all are are that you have part of her in you.

Nate, Brynn, your dad and I all drove down to Colorado for the memorial service, and it was nice to see so many people in Ron and Barbara's living room sharing stories of how Barbara touched their lives and encouraged them to be better people.

This is a good goal: to live so that when you're gone, everyone remembers the good things you did and the good friend you were.

Love,
Mom
