Vanola Wittwer- Sweet Grandma

My sweet 95 year old Grandmother passed away last week....
Although we are all saddened that she is not here with us anymore, it is a comfort to know that she is back with her loving Husband after 11 years of being alone.  
Grandma you will be missed tremendously, but your example of LOVE, KINDNESS, and UNSELFISHNESS Spirit will live on forever. I hope to be just like you one day!  Thanks for everything your have done for me!
The pink rose I placed on my Grandmother's casket. 
I was so blessed to be able to fly back to Utah and attend the funeral and spend time with my family. The funeral and burial were beautiful. I loved being able to reflect upon my Grandma's beautiful life. My Grandmother's greatest love was to have family around her. She left an amazing posterity and I am so honored to be a part of it. {6 children, 28 Grandchildren, 61 Great-grandchildren -with 4 more on the way}. 
This is the last picture I have of me with my Grandma.  (At our wedding back in May of 2009)

Marci...you really look a lot like your grandma in that younger picture of her. I am glad you got to attend her funeral in Utah and that she gets to be reunited with her husband.
