We Love You Bunches

---

Those daughters of mine…

Had the best grandma…in the whole wide world…this old gal…the best mentor and dearest friend…

Was taken under her wing 30 years ago…learned how to garden…freeze corn…raise chickens…was introduced to egg bake…chicken casserole…pretzel salad…buster bar desert…

So many words could describe her…clever…witty…kind…compassionate…thoughtful…caring…quilter…reader…mashed potato maker extraordinaire…

But one word…seems to resonate…stand out…and that…would be…solid…this former mother-in-law turned dear friend…was solid…

Solid in her faith…solid in her convictions…solid in her love for others…solid in her love for family…and solid in her love…for this once upon a time…member of her family…

And so with sad hearts…we say good-bye…to one who will truly be missed…and to use her favorite parting phrase…Grandma…we love you bunches…
​
And those girls of mine…agree…
