I'm sorry, Chris. I'll "hold her in my practice," as we say -- the easier because of this wonderful photograph.

Your post yesterday was a gift, to me as well as to her. We don't ever have much more than words and remembrance to give to people who are dying, I guess.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you so much for your post about your grandmother. We are so much more than just who WE are. We are made up of parts of all of them. It was indeed a touching and beautiful tribute. AND I love a woman with an axe! She will live on strong and present in your memories.

My condolences. Peace and good wishes to you and your family.

And, from what you wrote before, she sounds like a woman worth mourning. Worth remembering.
