In Loving Memory of my Gran!
I thought since it is Fathers Day today I would honor the memory of my Grandpa we called him Gran. Yesterday marked the ten year anniversary since his passing away. He was a great man of God and loved his family a whole lot. When he passed away we were all on a family trip to Williamsburg, Va which he planned and payed for the whole family. He was so excited about that trip and while there he suffered a major heart attack and passed away very suddenly. It was a great shock to our family but it was a blessing that we were all there as a family at that time and he was the happiest around his family. Now my Grandpa wasn't a huggy type Grandpa but he was very loving. My fondest memory is of their house in Ohio. It was a huge house with a great big yard with a pond, tree swing, sandbox and even a golf tee. My grandpa had an awesome garden and you could always find him there. Every single one of his grandchildren can remember taking rides on his tractor and helping him in the garden. It is a very special memory for me. I miss you Gran and know I will see you again in heaven!!
I am currently a stay at home mommy to my son Cortlyn and daughter Catherine. I love every minute of it. The thought of going back to work has no appeal for me. I love watching my children go through their milestones and treasure the time that they are little. I love to play the piano and wish that I had a grand piano to play on. I also love to sing and was a vocal minor in college. I have been married to my husband Chester six years this coming October. We are blessed to have our son and our daughter Catherine. And of course who could forget our crazy five year old chocolate lab Brownie. God is Good!
