On Wednesday night my sweet great-grandma died peacefully at her home. I have some great memories of my great-grandma, and I am so glad that I was able to have her in my life. Grandma would always have an easter egg hunt every year for all her great-grandchildren. It was always exciting, I remember when I was older because I got to hide the eggs. She always was happy to be alive and cherished life.
I have never been to a funeral that I can remember until Saturday, so this was an new experience for me. It was a very sweet service. It is so great to know that I will see my beautiful grandma again, and I know that she is in a great place now.
