But she was strong, not just in personality, but in body, and she hung on for a whole week.
Years ago, she sent me a handful of pictures from back in the days when she and my grandfather were dating. They divorced in the 60s, but she never remarried. I scanned them in this week so that my Dad could use them for a photo presentation. She was looking good!
This first one was early in their marriage when Grandma and Grandpa were visiting his parents in La Jolla, CA. Grandpa came from a long line of Navy men, he bucked the system and went in the Army. Grandma was content to be an Army wife, though she'd worked at Hallmark in the days prior to meeting Grandpa.

This is one of my favs, Grandma on their D.C. home's front porch just after they adopted my Dad from Ireland.

Happiness comes from fondly remembering the departed.
