Bit of Ivory

My last remaining great-grandmother passed away late last night, very peacefully. She celebrated her 100th birthday in September.

We’ll certainly miss her, but it’s hard to be too sad when such a woman passes on. She loved her family, and lived a rich, full life. To her very last minute, she lived in her own home. She was the sweetest woman you’ll ever meet, and I feel privileged to have known her.

The funeral will probably be on Wednesday, maybe Thursday. It depends on whether various grandchildren living out of state will be able to come or not.

The person I’m most worried about in all of this is my grandmother, who has now lost both her husband and her mother in a matter of months. This is going to be rough.
