    How wonderful! I wish I'd had a cool grandma like that. It's so great that your DD remembers her, too. My great grandparents had all passed away before I was born.

    Sweet. What a great role model for all of us.

    Wouldn't it be great to have had such a wonderful impact on the world when we're done?

    She sounds like an amazing woman. How lucky you were to have her. I hope the memorial tonight helps you celebrate her life and grieve her death. It helps to be surrounded by people who loved her too.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    What a great honor. I hope you enjoy sharing in the memory of your grandmother with those who cared for her.

    Sorry I am late....I hope it was as touching as what you wrote! I had a grandma like that too. But unfortunately she died at 68 when I was 12. But everything I am is because of her. If I had not had her for the first 12 years of my life I do not know where I would be today. Thank you for reminding me to think of her.
    Hope my grandma is having a beer with yours!
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    This reminds me of a photo I saw in the obit section - unlike the usual photos of the dearly departed, this one was of the lady in her younger days: whooping it up on horse back, waving her cowboy hat, the horse only on it's rear hooves.
    My thought was there's a lady who came sliding in to the finish line, laughing and saying it's been a great ride. I want to be that lady!
