RIP Granny
Yesterday I learned that my 86-year-old Great-Grandma passed away.
She’s been sick for a few months now, so I am 100% certain that she is in a better place but that doesn’t make it any easier. Especially since when her and my grandma visited me last September she was doing so well.
I was thinking all day yesterday about the post I would write talking about what an amazing G.G. she was (we always called her GG or Granny), how she wrote and published a book about her childhood and how five years ago she was still riding her bike around town.
But when I sat down to write this post last night I kind of got stuck and couldn’t find the words. So here are a few photos that I had on my computer. I wish I had more.
My grandma, mom, me and Granny last Christmas.
The Four Generation photo we took last fall.
Me and Granny last Christmas.
R.I.P. Granny. You will be greatly missed by many, many people. XO
I’m sorry, Amber. Hugs to you and your family.
So sorry for your loss. Hugs.
So sorry to hear about your granny amber! That’s terrible. My heart goes out to you and your family.
((((
Sorry to hear about your loss.
Oh hon, my thoughts are with you!
So sorry. I’m thinking about you today. The pictures are great, it’s amazing to have 4 generations together and you all look beautiful!
So sorry to hear about your great grandma. She is in a better place now and will always be watching over you! It is nice that you were able to have get that 4 generations picture!
I m so sorry to hear this. That is so amazing you were able to cherish so much time with her. And you are right, she is in a better place, but will always be with you.
Awww I am so sorry!
i love that photo of your hands, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
So sorry for your loss, sweetie. What an amazing woman! Love that she remained active for so many years. I am glad you have some photos together. There just never are enough, are they?
so sorry for your loss. But i love that you have a recent photo of the 4 of you together! that’s just awesomeness & it will be treasured!
My GGMa is 99. She’s lived a long and adventurous life. She was a working single mother when they didn’t really exist. She is the epitome of feminism (amidst the macho culture of Latin America). But most of all she is kind and loving to no end.
I know for a fact she’s looking forward to dancing at my wedding in November. She won’t be here much longer and that was a big impetus behind our photography and cinematography options.
When she passes I know I will feel just as you do now. Your entire family gas my deepest and most sincere condolences.
I’m sorry. It sounds like she lived a full and long life, though.
It’s wonderful that you got to spend so much time with her before she got sick.
Oh, Amber … I’m so sorry to hear about your GG (I have a GG too!). I love that you all thought to take photos with all four generations – I don’t have anything like that and I’m sure you’ll treasure them. The hand shot is great!
So sorry for your loss Amber!
So sorry for your loss, Amber!

I’m sorry for your loss! Thinking of you. And I’m shocked that your GG was 86 and there’s 4 generations of you!? I’m impressed. That doesn’t happen very often. xo!
I’m really sorry.
I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re in my thoughts and prayers.
But riding a bike around town at 81 years old? Im-press-ive!
I’m so sorry, but what a blessing that you have so many lovely memories.
I’m very sorry for your loss. How neat she wrote and published a book and was still riding her bike at her age. She seems like someone amazing to look up to.
I’m sorry. Your great grandma sounds like a wonderful woman.
She looks like she was quite an amazing woman! So sorry to hear about your loss. Hugs to you and your family <3
She sounded like such an amazing woman. I’m so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts!
P.S. I really love the four generation photo.
Oh, Amber, I’m so sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry to hear about this and will be thinking of you today. That four-generation picture is beautiful and something you’ll cherish for a long time.
Amber, I am sending you HUGE hugs!! Loosing someone is never easy, even though she is in a better place, its not a phone call away.
Lots of love to you and your family is the time of great sorrow.
I love your pictures of the 4 generations. You are very blessed to have those!

I’ve never really known any of my grandparents, and can’t imagine what it’s like to lose someone so integral to your life.

Aww, I’m so sorry to hear this Amber! Those pictures are amazing. My great grandmother passed away about a year ago as well and I feel so lucky to have been able to spent as much time with her as I did growing up!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I know it never really gets any easier, even if they are older and have been sick for a while. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I’m so sorry Amber. Grandma’s are one of a kind and the void that they leave behind has to show how amazing they made our lives.
Oh Amber! I’m so sorry to hear of your loss! From your description it’s obvious what an amazing woman she was. My thoughts are with you.
