Saying Goodbye to Great Grandma Nelson

This weekend my Great Grandma Nelson passed away at age 97.  She was living in a nursing home, in Wisconsin and had been suffering from dementia.  Since turning 90 her memory had slowly faded away.  I thought it was wonderful that, at age 24 I still had a great-grandmother and that in 2 months Baby Remme was about to have a great-great-grandmother.  Unfortunately, they will not be able to meet each other, but we know that great-grandma Nelson is now in heaven with all of her loved ones, shining down on all of us.  My Grandma Alfaro (her daughter) visited a couple weeks ago and gave our baby boy a gift from great-grandma (a silver dollar).  This was a tradition of great-grandmas to give the grandchildren.  Baby Remme would have been her first great-great-grandchild.  She will surely be missed, but it is nice to know, she is at peace now in heaven.  Her funeral will truly be a celebration of her life...all 97 years of it!
