Happy Birthday!


Happy Birthday, Grandma Barb!  

I wanted you to know that your family is a fantastic bunch!  Your son Danny and Ellen have a beautiful family.  They are magnificent parents to their daughters Mavis B and Quinn Louise.   Mavis is crushing it at school, and Quinn is an adorable baby with a big appetite. She has auburn hair, blue eyes, and looks like you.  Dan and Ellen are happy; they are working hard and are a great team.   

Sumy joined us in Chicago for Thanksgiving this year.  He was a joy to have around the table. He has a kind heart, a beautiful smile, and plenty of stories to share. Sumy won my heart and my Thanksgiving spirit award! I'm hoping that he makes us a new tradition.

Lexy lived in Chicago for a short time, and we were excited to have her close!   However, Tony had more opportunities for them in New York, so she moved back.  They have a beautiful kitten and a puppy!  Lexy is healthy and happy and is a proud doting Aunt to Mavis and Quinn. 

I pray every day that God will bless me with extra energy, and the wisdom to be a better grandma for our granddaughters, Mavis B, and Quinn. I was excited that we would be grandma’s together, but God had a different plan. I trust Him, and I know that He needed you more. Please, continue to watch over us and guide us; you are our Angel.

When I see a red cardinal or a field of yellow daffodils, I smile, stop, and listen for you.
I miss you every day.

Love,
Grandma A.

Grandma Barb. Rest in Peace

Sunday.

Take time to sit by the Christmas tree and drink tea, with your mother. So grateful for moments like this.

Sometimes you have to talk to a three year old so that you can understand life again.
Happy 3rd Birthday Mavis B!
