Saturday, March 22nd, my mom's mom and my Grandmother passed. She had been battling Alzheimer's for years and her body couldn't take it anymore. Please Keep my mom and all of our family in your thoughts and prayers.
A few memories of my Grandmother:
Growing up, I got to see her and visit a lot. She only lived an hour and a half away from us in Magnolia, AR. She was an amazing cook. Her green beans and homemade roles were my favorite. She had a garden in her back yard and she taught me how to pick the vegetables properly and how to prepare them for cooking or canning. I remember sitting in the back yard and snapping green beans and listening to her tell me stories of when my mom was young. Then as the night came she would give us a jar with holes in the lid and my brother and I would catch firefly's.
Another memory is playing "Hide the Thimble" and "Going on a Bear hunt". Both games that I am convinced that she made up. Regardless, I could play them all night.
She was a extremely sweet woman and a perfect Grandmother. We will all miss her dearly but one day I will teach my kids what she has taught me and hopefully carry on her positive example of a strong Christian woman.

Jamie,
MY heart hurts for your family. My grandmother (mom's mom) has Alzheimers, too. Oh, what a horrible disease. I am sure she is FULL of wonderful memories now, though, as she shares them with our Heavenly Father.
Love you!
