In March, Erik’s grandmother passed away. I think one of the last energetic trips she took, before her health and mobility began to decline, was to our wedding in 2001. Our family visited her a number of times over the years, but the kids and I got to know her in only a limited sense. It was wonderful to hear everyone remember and honor her at the memorial service with stories of her many wonderful qualities, gifts, skills, and interests, and her faith in Christ. The photo above shows her husband and most of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. (Not pictured: a son who passed away several years ago, an adopted daughter, two granddaughters who live overseas, and two great-grandbabies—daughters of those expats.)
