Great Grandma Lucille

Our great Great Grandma Lucille passed away yesterday and we are all deeply saddened by her loss. Even though Avery has already proven herself to be quite the poet, I (Emery here) wrote a poem that hopefully captures all of our thoughts.

Great Grandma Lucille
Dear Great Grandma Lucille, 
you are truly the best that has ever been known.
Oh Great Grandma Lucille,
we are just so sad you have left us all alone.
We still have all these memories to remind us,
all those beautiful times that we shared in the past.
 We still have all these mementos we hold dearly,
to look back on, to love more, and last.
But all of which, 
can never replace, 
you standing right here, 
right besides me,
your sweetness, your toughness, your smartness, all of you.
Love, 
From us all, 
You will always be remembered.

Here's also a video of us all visiting Great Grandma in the hospital ...



And here's another video of our final goodbyes. This was after she had settled back in at home from the hospital, where we all had a nice long visit at the start of this new year ...


We love you Great Grandma Lucille!!!

Great grandma was so very, very happy to be able to see her little great grand-daughters. I know the two of you made her the last days of her life a wonderful memory for all of us. Thank you for the tribute that I can revisit again and again.
