A Passing

We are behind on our blogging, mostly due to a sad event. Last week, Michael's Grandma Hannold passed away. She was 89, nearly 90, and healthy until Christmas time. Then her tiny body just wore out on her. She was quite an amazing woman. She was a widow for over 50 years, raised her two daughters on her own, and managed to get them both through college too! She saw her two grandsons grow up and be married, and took so much joy and pleasure in Colin and Gillian! She was a spunky and stubborn lady and was full of gumption. Quite a lady the whole way around. I know we will miss her much and remember her fondly and often.
