Hi friends. :)
The family was hit was some sad news last week. Ben’s Grandma peacefully passed away in her home at the age of 86.
Even though I married into the family, Grandma never treated me any differently from the rest of her grandchildren.
She was incredibly sweet, clever, adventurous (she and her friends worked as “Rosie the Riveters” in Cali during WWII!) and there was no question that she adored her family more than anything else in the entire world.
Ben and I will be in her hometown of Modale, IA for the rest of the weekend celebrating her life with the rest of the family.
Call the ones you love TODAY! :)
[…] other news, last weekend when we were in Western Iowa, Ben blew out the elbow of the dress shirt he was going to wear to his Grandma’s services, […]
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m sure there are so many fond memories to look back on.
My condolences to you, Ben and the entire family :( Glad you were all able to be together to celebrate her life! We lost my grandmother in December and it was and is incredibly difficult but being with family certainly eases the blow.
very sorry for your loss.
How wonderful – all those years. I hope along with the tears there was plenty of celebration! My love to you and Ben.

i’m sorry for your family’s loss.
my condolences to your family…Ben’s grandma is now with the Lord God :)
I’m so sorry. May you all find peace and comfort in the arms of your family and friends. She sounds like a remarkable woman.
So sorry to hear about this sad news. You and Ben and your family are in my prayers!
I’m so sorry for your guys’ loss. She seems like the picture-perfect grandma! she’s darling!
Sending my condolences to you & Ben, and your entire family. I love the corn picture!
I’m glad you have the opportunity to spend the weekend celebrating your grandmother’s life. Enjoy the stories, loving words and time together. My prayers are with your family.
Thoughts and prayers with you my friend. I know everyone says their grandma is the cutest, and I always tell everyone they are wrong because MY grandma is the cutest – but Ben’s grandma looks like she can tie with my grandma. What wonderful memories and photos. My “cutest” grandma is 83 and moves into an assisted living home for dementia tomorrow. It’s so hard to watch our loved ones age and pass on becuase they mean so much and are such amazing people. I always like this quote: “When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” My best to you and Ben.
Beautiful.
She seems like such a wonderful woman and grandmother. I’m sure that she will still be with your family in spirit. I wish you and Ben the best in coping with your loss. :(
Aww girl I’m sorry for your loss! She looks like she was an amazing woman, and I’ll be thinking of you guys!
I’m sorry about your loss, Kristin. It sounds like she was a truly wonderful woman who lived a long, happy life. My thoughts are with you, Ben and the family.
So sorry. She looks like a beautiful woman, and sounds like a sweetheart. I’m sure you all will miss her very much.
Thinking of you guys. You’re in my prayers.
