My grandmother Celesta passed away in the early evening of October 7th, 2007. She was an amazing woman. A daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She was greatly loved by everyone who knew her, and loved others greatly in turn. I miss her horribly.
Pattie and I are driving up to Iowa for the services. I’m grateful for my partner in grief. As Pattie put it, “she’s my grandma too.” They bonded over turquoise nail polish and a certain silly young boy.
To our friends and family, thank you for the outpouring of love, prayer, support and well wishes. It means everything.
