We Love You Grandma Gie!

Please visit Happy to be from Iowa's blog for a wonderful tribute to our Grandma Gie who passed away Sunday at 2:30 a.m. I was fortunate to spend several hours with her on Saturday, with the last couple of hours from 8-10 p.m. holding her hand, she holding mine and my arm. My husband and I sang song after song to her as she rested peacefully. As we were singing some of her favorites, (Edelweiss, Let there be Peace on Earth, You are my Sunshine, Lorena, etc) we heard a third voice joining in . . . it was Annabelle, the woman in the bed on the other side of the curtain in Grandma's room! She and Grandma had known each other for about 75-80 years, they lived on the same gravel road in a small town in Iowa and raised their kids together. It was a beautiful evening and one that I will never forget. Bon Voyage Grandma Gie - you'll be greatly missed! (NOBODY, I mean NOBODY, can make potato salad like you did!)
