Day 24. 2012.

The world lost a wonderful woman yesterday.

Our family lost someone very special who...

made us smile,

always had a warm hug to share,

was quick to brag about all of us to everyone she knew,

created amazing cookies and flatbread (along with many other things),

had some of the best sayings like: 'that's the limit'

had such a zest for life and love of food that she would say 'this is the best (insert particular food she was eating) I have ever had'...even though she had yet to try any of it.

Grandma Betty was loved so much and will be missed dearly by all of us whose lives she touched.

I, in particular, am going to miss visiting her at her apartment.

She would always greet the kids and I at the door with a smile and a hug, and treated me like I was her granddaughter, even though she was Travis' grandma.

I am sure that she is rejoicing now, reunited with all of the loved ones she had lost over the years.

We love you Grandma Betty.

Rest in peace.
