In Loving Memory....

All the cousins with Famp!! We'll all miss Bub!!

Bub and Caleb

To one of the greatest person I've known in my life. My dear sweet grandma "Bub" passed away unexpectedly on January 6. It took everyone by surprise as she just kind of snuck out on us. It has been a really hard time. I think that I cried more the first 10 days of 2008 than I did in the entire year of 2007. Bub was just amazing. I never heard her speak anything bad about anyone else. She always made you feel so special. When I was little, I loved sleeping over at her house. She would make the best pancakes and would put them in whatever shape you would order. She was an amazing cook. Her lemon meringue pies and potato salad will be greatly missed. She was always giving to everyone else. She raised an amazing family. I have great aunts, uncles and cousins. It has been such a great comfort to be able to spend time with all of them and just be together. Sitting around and remembering and talking about Bub and all her great qualities and memories have helped ease the sadness. I could try all my life and not be able to accomplish everything she did and the person that she was. She has made me want to try harder to be better and more like her. She touched so many lives. My sister, Jordan and I were talking and we both have had more of a desire to be better cooks. I guess that's good for Greg and Zac, or not because they get all the rejects. I love my family and am grateful for all of them. Thank heavens for blogging because we can keep tabs better. Hankie girls forever!! I love you Bub and am trying to be like you!!!
