Grandma

My Grandma Dorothy joined Jesus on December 23rd, just in time to celebrate his birthday in heaven.  She is with my Grandpa now and that is all she wanted.  These are just a few of my favorite pictures of her.  She will forever be in my heart.  I love you Grandma.  Pray for us from above, we look forward to joining you for eternal life.

Sweet grandparents rubbing my toes at our wedding, there were sore from dancing
