Mark's 93 yr old Grandmother passed away this early June. I hate that it's taken me this long to write anything about it. She is an amazing woman, and became an instant favorite of mine at my first big Melby function. She went out of her way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. That was who she was. Over the next 10 years or so her hospitality continued. We miss her tons.
Oliver and her were especially close, which is odd since they only got to know each other for a few years. Never the less, Grams was and is still a frequent topic of discussion in Oliver's world.
Before she passed away she gave the boys a singing flower that that plays "You are my sunshine".
It's horribly loud and obnoxious (which is why she wanted it out of her room:)) but every time the boys turn it on it makes us think of her.
These photos are from the women sitting around picking out pictures for the service.
I think it must be mentioned how much Bill and Becky had to go through this particular weekend. They were planning a funeral, a wake, and putting up with an additional 16 people living in their house. But they did it all with poise and patience. The Lord clearly carried them through and in turn it carried the rest of us.
