Grandma Barbara was a truly reamarkable woman.

She was the mom to 9 chldren.

She was the grandma and great grandma too soo many.

I will truly miss her and her kind wonderful spirit.

She was an artist who did beautiful work.

I was told she loved to sing " When Irish Eyes are smiling."

Thus, it is her song.

We never got to see her before she passed away.

However, I googled up the hospital she was at.

The nurse said would you like to talk to her she is awake?

So, I was thrilled for my husband.

He got to say he loved her and his goodbyes.

It was almost as if she was waiting for him.

Grandma was very special to him.

She passed away the next morning.

We made it to Michigan for her service.

We love you GRANDMA ALWAYS.
