She was the backbone of our family. At my wedding this February I had framed a small picture of her riding her John Deer lawn mower (here favorite pass time) and had placed it on the table next to our guest book. She had mowed her 2 acre lawn 2wice a week for 60 years. Those who knew me would know exactly who and what the picture was about and those who didn't, I hoped would ask. It was my little tribute. Then, while my wife and I were seated, eating dinner, two familiar arms wrapped around my neck. In one of the hands was the picture of my grandmother. I turned around to my mother who's face was wet with tears. In an instant, the entire head table was sobbing. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. My grandmother, who I desperately wanted to be at my wedding, well....she was. My heart goes out to you and your family. Just know that even though their physical being is no longer, their energy lives on. I too was very close to my grandmother who passed away a little over a year ago.
