Mooma

Today we went down to the Bay area to be at the grave service for Mooma.  She passed away last Friday and did not want a funeral, just something small at the burial.  I dug up old pictures that had turned into a must take for each baby.  It became a tradition we had to make it down to see her with each new baby in our family to get the Mooma picture.

Her passing has been expected for a while, but has also been a day everyone was happily waiting for.  Mooma could no longer see or hear very well.  She had lived a long life in which she was one of the most peaceful and kind people I have every met.  She was a tiny little thing that everyone loved and respected.  We are grateful she was able to meet each of our children and look forward to seeing her again someday.
